FAQ
Who is this for? What ages?
Although players ages 8 and up will understand the game mechanics, due the horror movie spoof theming we suggest ages 12+.
How many people can play?
Part of what makes this game exciting is the chaos involved. As few as four players can play but you can easily accommodate up to 12 players.
Does it have to be dark to play?
Not at all. The "Glow Blade" has a more visible effect in low light conditions but the effect is not integral to the game. Beyond this, it just depends on how scary you want to make it.
How long do the batteries last?
The batteries included in each of the game pieces are designed to last 10-12 hours and are type CR1220. To replenish them, we recommend using the Starlux Games Battery set. It includes enough batteries to replace the lights several times over.

This game is hilarious!! I bought this for my teens to play with friends, hoping it would be fun and it did not disappoint! We love that it’s a spoof off of horror films coupled with hilarious tasks you have to complete to get points. It’s random, it’s high energy and it’s so fun with a big group! We have had a blast playing it! Seriously one of our favorite games to play!

We had a good time “playing” but I don’t know if we played the correct way. It says ghosts can whisper and pass cards…I don’t know what that means. Also, we went through all the cards at one point playing and was like ok…what now? Then couldn’t figure out if we’re supposed to run from the killer, hide, run in pairs or if that’s frowned upon. Maybe we overthought it. Also, the start says ring the doorbell or knock, then says game start when you ring or knock and can enter any side of the house interact… so is it ring the bell twice or what?Used cards by suberbos, are those supposed to be moved once complete or can other suberbos use them once you’re done? What’s the point of the paper? We had groups of kids together writing down their points at once. I just don’t know.

This was fun and entertaining. My kids were a little young because none of them have phones, but they made adjustments and were still able to have fun. They ran around the whole house playing and hiding.

This is a gift for my nephews who grew up watching horror movies. It would not be for me.

This game was a huge hit at our house! It’s super awesome and feels a bit like a miracle when you can find some thing that your 17-year-old son and his friends along with your 11-year-old daughter and a bunch of her friends can all play together.One thing that I did not anticipate is how much everyone would going to enjoy reading the notes, the texts, watching the videos etc from the tasks that they had to complete as they were playing. They were all laughing so much.It was hilarious! After all the friends went home I had a mom text me and ask me where I got the game. Both of her kids said that they liked it so much that wanted to get their own copy ASAP!We TOTALLY recommend this game.

Some negatives up front: Phones are an unlisted requirement (lots of stuff here about messaging other players, etc.). The “glow blade” is nowhere near as red as is shown in the photos. The game will turn your household into some routinely noisy chaos (we’re there already anyway though, am I right, parents?). And this experience may prove too involved for certain kids.The bad aside though, this is a lot of fun, even if you’re just watching the idiocy. And because each “killer” card has a ton of unique scoring options, there’s a lot of longevity in this box; which ultimately makes it worth the $25 list price. So if you have teens to entertain around Halloween, this is something I’d recommend to most parents. Just know that you’ll likely be helping everyone understand the slightly complex rules before they can get started. You might even have fun joining the game!

We played this once with our buddies while drinking quite a few cocktails and had a blast. We plan on taking it camping with us when the weather warms up so we can play it again. We are a huge game family so we like having having a wide variety and this one is perfect. I am a horror collector so this would be a great gift for the horror lover in your life.October 2023 has a friday the 13th so If you have Friday the 13th parties this is perfect!

It’s a fun game, we had 5 people, it went pretty quickly, we will try and get a bigger group next time. The only thing I really don’t like is that you have to use cell phones

We haven’t gathered enough friends to play yet, but we can not wait! This game is a simple to follow, no difficult instructions, fun game to play for any age that can read & write. It’s a mix of comedy meets hide & go seek. I feel like this is great for family get togethers, youth groups, & middle schoolers.
Customer –
I ordered this to play with our extended family at our annual Halloween party. We decided to test it out before then and it was so dang fun. Our family is made up of mostly twenty somethings, so it’s not just for kiddos!My mother in law is always searching for the next trendy outdoor or active game to bring her family together and she approved of this pick!
Ryan A. –
So much fun for the whole family! Lots of laughs!
Petra –
Even with a group of 6 I felt like this game would have been better with more, I can’t imagine playing with only 4 people like the box suggests you could do. Otherwise, this game is outrageous and creative and my younger siblings and I all had a blast

THIS IS GREAT FOR A CAMPING GAME. YOU HAVE TO PLAY OUTSIDE BUT COMES WITH “FLASHLIGHTS”. SUPER EASY TO PLAY/LEARN

Let’s Split Up! The newest action horror game from Starlux games who made the incredibly fun Darkridge Reunion!In this live-action game, one player is chosen to be the Glow Killer, and all the rest of the players are Suburbos, or the hunted. Each Suburbo gets three goal cards but doesn’t look at them and the Killer gets a Killer card with all of their goals. The killer goes outside and all of the suburbos hide. Once the killer is spotted and someone yells “Let’s Split Up!”, players can review their goal cards and start to complete objectives to score points. They can always trade out cards or draw new ones, but any cards left in their hand at the end of the game count against them. Once the killer completes three tasks, they can start hunting suburbos and touching them with the foam glow knife to turn them into ghosts. Ghosts can then help the suburbos by creating distractions or passing suburbo cards, but they are unable to talk. The game ends when all the suburbos have been turned to ghosts and then all the points are added up. It’s the killer versus the suburbos, and whoever has the most points at the end wins.Starlux is incredible at making these interactive games. Darkridge manor is a blast and this one is no exception. The addition of cel phones and texting throughout the game gives it a classic horror movie feel, and with dozens of goal cards, you’ll never play the same game twice. Make sure to check this one out!

We brought this out when my kids had friends over for a horror movie night. They loved it! They ended up playing 3 times in a row because everyone wanted to be the killer. One kid had a dead phone so he just skipped the cards that required him to do something on his cell phone. The cards have them doing silly things like turning the shower on for 20 seconds while trying to hide from the killer. It really is a cool game for teens.

As kids we made up all sorts of fun games to play. We would take a classic game of hide and seek, or follow the judge to court and add some twists and it would morph into the most epic fun. This game is nothing short of those awesome times we had. Hide and seek and murder in the dark with some unique new twists. The perfect sleepover game for cousins. An awesome good time for late night teenage get togethers. And the perfect family game to include adults in some old fashioned fun with some modern twists! Hoping they will eventually have some expansion cards for this game. It’s a good time had by all!

This is definitely an interesting game that brings horror films and board games together. I’d suggest this game be played with 6+ players for added fun

Still waiting for the teens in my life to stop pretending to be too good for game night. Will update
T. E. –
This is the most intense, silly fun game of hide and seek.There are tasks that have to be completed by the players while trying to stay out of sight.We played it with a group of 15 teens… they all loved it and asked to play it again soon! (This was after playing 4 rounds in a row!)

My son had a halloween theme birthday party last week & I bought this for the party . They had sooo much fun playing this game , I was laughing when watching them yell out whatever was on the cards .
Boymom –
My husband and I played this with our teenagers and it was so fun! My boys can’t wait to have their friends over to play. I would recommend playing with shoes on, though… we had a few stubbed toes and it’s hard to keep quiet when you’re hopping around!
Amy B. –
I either didn’t pay attention or the product didn’t make it clear, but every player has to have a cell phone. I bought it for my eldest grandson, thinking it’d be fun for him to play with his siblings ( 8 in total) that are younger and they couldn’t play because they don’t have cell phones. So ended up no one could play it except my 2 oldest grandkids so that doesn’t work for this game. Otherwise it looked exactly like the image and he(13yr old) was actually excited when he got it, just disappointed he ended up not being able to play.

I have come to find that I can trust games produced by Starlux. My younger kids love them and my teenager and his friends love them. We always find a way to modify and accommodate the different ages and all have a fun time laughing and bonding.I love that it got us moving and it was super fun to see the different personalities play their roll and come alive. At first they weren’t as into in thinking it was silly, by the end it was super fun for them to play out their card/roll. I loved the variety and the silliness of the cards and how it put a “fun spin” on horror. 10 out of 10
T. F. –
This was a lot more fun than I expected! Well thought out and fun to play. Highly recommend, great activity for the older kids.
Carla –
Super fun family and friends game! If you are a horror movie fan you will love it!Active and definitely a change of pace from regular games.Everyone loved it!Easy to set up and play. Definitely recommended for a big house or space. Perfect for Halloween parties.
Adamm –
Played with our nieces and nephews. 6 teenagers and(2) 28 year olds and a mid 30. Everyone enjoyed this game but the teenagers were faster at running haha so I’d think it’s best for the teenagers expect lots of fast running. Works best if you have a 3 story home and very large Yard.
Amanda T. –
My family and I loved playing this game. We’re all different ages (from kids to adults) and we all had a blast! It’s very silly, easy to play, and doesn’t get old. Now that we’re heading towards Halloween season, it’s a great game to start getting in the spirit. Also, we’re going to play again at my nephew’s birthday party next month. It definitely is a great party game that the kids will love whether you play with them or not. If you’re looking for a fun interactive game that everyone will want to play over and over again, this is the one!
Carrie –
Grabbed this game for our son’s 15th birthday party. Great game for a group of kids. They were laughing and joking and having a great time! There are already plans to play again. I would recomend a large area to play.
Tara L. –
I was a little bit hesitant when I bought this game because it didn’t have a lot of reviews, BUT boy oh boy…. it did not disappoint! I took it to a party with kids aged from 6 years old to 14 years old. They ALL had a blast! It is easier to use cell phones, so they grouped up and that made it easier for the little kids. The little kids were a little nervous to play a “scary” game, but the promt cards are goofy and everyone had so much fun. They also loved the hiding part of the game. There is just so many different aspects of the game that everyone had a good time! You have acting, clue solving, hide and seek, tag… so many things! Halloween is coming up…. definitely recommend for your next party. Total hit!

It was fun my kids were like mom im not going to hit you at first but I said u have no choice it gas to happen lol it was so fun very interactive with the kids made new years a night to remember
Nathan A. –
This game was a hit! We own several products from this company and they have great ideas to get kids and teens off the screens and play! This one is geared toward older kids (12 and up) and teens. This game you play the role of a killer or the potential victims. It’s like clue meets charades meets hide and seek meets tag but way better. 10/10 would recommend!
Kathy –
I got this game for my family to play along with some friends, and we had a blast. My daughters are so excited to invite over some more friends to play some more. This was such a huge hit for us. My daughters have been non stop talking about this and been talking with their friends about it already. They want to invite a bunch of friends over to have a huge group to play. We absolutely loved how everyone could leave notes, texts, video messages and more. That’s what made this so much fun. The thrill of running around and possibly being caught was such a blast. We can’t wait to play again. Definitely a game we would recommend. With Halloween coming up, we plan to have a fun Halloween party while playing this game too. We just know it’s going to be a lot of fun.

I love that you can pick different variations! This was such a fun game for my older kids.

This game is silly fun for horror fans. There’s one killer and up to 11 victims.Killers can track points acquired via objective cards as they try to find their victims and “kill” them with a light up foam sword. Victims have their own objective cards with goals too. The winning team will acquire the most points.This is a silly time and hilarious. You will need sticky notes or paper as a supplement to playing.Great game for groups and a great gift for game or horror fans.
Oracle R. –
Fun idea and the cards and prompts are great. The game recommends using cell phones but you can play it without them and there are other suggestions on the cards. Because it is based on horror movies it is probably best to play this with older teens or young adults. My kids aren’t super into scary movies but they still had a good time playing it. Would be a fun Halloween game to play at a Party. You need a good place to play with places to hide that aren’t in people’s personal rooms. Happy with the game and will play it again.

My family was raised on horror movies, and we’ve passed that love on to our (mostly) teenaged children. When I saw this game, I thought it might be good for some entertainment at an upcoming family event and took a shot.When I tell you my nieces and nephews have never loved me more, it is no understatement! As a group, we have ten children and eight adults. We’ve played several games at my behest, but we have never had such universal fun. The shenanigans eight teens and eight adults can get into playing “Let’s Split Up” was a riot; even the grandparents enjoyed themselves.One sister has four kids, and she’s already planning to order a copy for their household.

First, I never write reviews. I’m also not a squeamish parent. I watch horror movies with my 14 yr. old, etc. I really loved the sound of this game, but I think some of the tasks are a bit tone deaf to the times we are in. They have you texting other players things like, “Text another player about who you hope gets killed and why,” or “Record a 20+ second video of yourself whispering how you don’t want to die.” Once these things are on people’s phones, they are there. And at a time when so many teens are struggling with mental health issues. it just doesn’t seem like the best choice to text someone about why you “hate them” even in gest for a game. It may seem funny at the moment, but not a month or two later if they have a routine conflict. Anyway, I’m glad other folks are enjoying it. Again, I loved the premise. I just wish it had involved mostly in-person/live activities rather than phone communications that outlast the game and can be seen without context. Hope that’s helpful.

This game is a blast! It reminded me of the games we used to play as a teenager like murder in the dark and werewolf. The tasks are clever and make for hilarious pictures and videos to watch and enjoy together later. The kids wanted to play enough rounds so that each of us got a turn to be the killer. We played for several rounds the first time and then took it to our family reunion where the kids and adults enjoyed playing together. It would also work well for a teen party, birthday or Halloween party.
