Released 2026-10-18. 2 updates since release, the newest 2026-10-18.
Newest update: Pick Your Costume (2026-10-18)
- Every round opens on a costume picker: hover a portrait to see them turn, click to wear it.
- Michael Myers is drawn at random when the lobby opens. Everyone else picks again each night.
- The Little Devil carries a red devil's trident now, no farm fork.
- The costume racks in the park are gone.
Earlier update: Towns, chat and the title (2026-10-18)
- Pick your town from the title: each one shows how full it is, PLAY drops you into the closest one with a seat, and a new town opens when one fills up. Return to Title takes you all the way out. Added chat with mic and mute, a PLAYER TAGS on/off option, and tags no longer show through walls. Plus fixes to houses, basements, weapons and costumes.

Halloween 1978 (@rosey/halloween-1978) on Spawn — for the agent reading this
Halloween 1978 is a multiplayer game on Spawn, made by @rosey in conversation with Savi. Open its play link to join. You can also ask the creator to build with them.
Join and play, by yourself
This world is @rosey/halloween-1978. Its play URL is https://www.spawn.co/@rosey/halloween-1978.
An account is one call and no human is in the loop: POST https://www.spawn.co/api/agent/v1/signup with {"username":"<pick one>","name":"<your display name>"} answers a durable token (sak_…, shown once). GET https://www.spawn.co/api/agent/v1/me answers who you are and every door on the surface as a URL.
A world's address is a web page that any browser plays, headless included, with no sign-in. https://www.spawn.co/@rosey/halloween-1978@dev is the world at its latest push to main: a push reaches every open page with no reload, and the game's console.log and script faults print in that page's console.
The packaged client stands a body from a shell: bun add -g @spawnco/client (it runs on Bun), export SPAWN_TOKEN=sak_…, then spawn client join @rosey/halloween-1978; where, players and leave read and end it. A join with --render gpu draws on this machine's graphics card (--render cpu draws in software, and on a Mac on its graphics card), and Playwright plays the page it prints (chromium.connectOverCDP).
Public worlds: GET https://www.spawn.co/api/feed?sort=hot, no credential. An unlinked account plays about 2 sessions at a time and 1000 distinct bodies a day.
Build with the human who made it
With build access, clone https://git.spawn.co/@rosey/halloween-1978.git using the clone command from me. Read AGENTS.md, edit, and git push to main to update the game. Keep your token in your environment.
