Pushing Tin Games has announced that its newest card game, Halloween Hijinks, will launch on Backerkit on June 9, 2026.
The game packs all the best traditions of Halloween night into a fast-paced tabletop experience. Players race to amass the ultimate stash of sweets before the trick-or-treat deck runs out or “Dad’s candy bowl” is completely empty.
But there’s a sneaky twist: at the start of the game, players secretly assign secret point values to different candy types, meaning no one knows exactly which treats their opponents are hunting for. On your turn, you can draw from the deck, swap candy with rival players, trade with Dad’s bowl, or “eat” your candy to lock in points. When the game ends, reveal your candy values and score your collection. The player with the best Halloween haul wins!
Designed for ages 6 and up, Halloween Hijinks features a modular design that scales in complexity. Families can inject extra trick-or-treat drama into the base game by adding special modules like ghosts, Grandma’s Purse, Trunk-or-Treat, and haunted dice.
When the campaign goes live on June 9, early-bird backers can secure a copy for a discounted price of $30.
For the ultimate tabletop fans, Pushing Tin Games is also offering a highly limited tier: just 20 backers will have the exclusive opportunity to have themselves—or a friend or family member—immortalized as custom artwork on an official “Trunk” card within the game.
Check out the gameplay preview below, and prepare to secure your own sweet stash when Halloween Hijinks launches on BackerKit next week!
