Finders Creepers (2024)

Overview

Finders Creepers is an AR-enhanced (Augmented Reality-enhanced) hybrid board game. The mid-weight pick-up & delivery game has players taking on the roles of monster hunters from the paranormal society, Invisible, Inc. Guided by your helpful and often maniacal AI assistant, Boogle, the hunters search a haunted house for the AR monsters lurking in the various rooms. It’s their mission to find the correct gear and capture three monsters first. But if the house gets overrun by Haunted Objects, the monsters escape the board and HAUNT YOUR HOUSE in a real-world AR monster hunt!

On your turn, a player takes three actions from seven potential actions. Players must move through the house collecting the specific gear they need to catch the monsters hiding in the house. Using the Boogle app, players can scan the house to find the monster and ultimately catch them. But beware of Haunted Objects lurking in the house that will scare you back to the starting gate.

At the end of each player’s turn, it’s the monster’s turn, having the players roll the Monster Dice, which often brings new challenges but can bring rewards, too. If three Haunted Objects are unveiled in the house or the Grand Escape icon is rolled, the house becomes unstable and the monsters escape the board in an AR monster hunting event. The player who blasts the most monsters in the Grand Escape is rewarded two gear tiles and the chance to rid the house of one Haunted Object. The first player to capture three monsters is the winner!

The game can be played with or without the AR app.
