Step 2: Place two of the ghosts on the squares with corner dots, covering up the candy pieces. Then determine who will go first. The player who will go ''second'' chooses where to place the third ghost.

==Play==
Turns alternate. A turn consists of two parts:
*Moving your trick-or-treater
*Moving a ghost
'''Moving your trick-or-treater'''
On your turn, move your colored pyramid one space. You must move it in a direction shown by one of the arrows printed on the space it's standing in, and you can follow arrows pointing off the board to wrap around to the other side. You cannot enter a space occupied by a ghost. You must move your piece unless it's trapped. If the piece you land on contains a piece of candy, pick it up and eat it (or set it aside).
'''Moving a ghost'''
Look for the closest ghost to where your trick-or-treater landed. Determine this by movement spaces from your trick-or-treater (not counting wraparound). Move this ghost one space in any direction, making sure it lands in a space by itself or a space occupied only by a piece of candy.
==Game End==
The game ends when one player's board has been entirely emptied of candy. That player wins.
==Trivia==
This game was released by [[Looney Labs]] in December 2019 as their annual [[Holiday Gift]].
