Discover Halloween Picket Maze: The Perfect Halloween-themed Puzzle Game

Halloween Picket Maze single player action puzzle game launch is available on Linux and Windows PC. Thanks to GameLoom Studio for their creativity. Available now on Steam with a discount. GameLoom Studio, the tiny two-person team we know for unique indie gems, is back this Halloween with something special: Halloween Picket Maze! This action puzzle game has arrived on Linux, right in time to add spooky fun to your October. It's more of a treat than a trick. Which originally was not due to targeting support.

Linux support is not something we have initially considered, other than making sure it works on Steam Deck through Proton. We do have experience developing for Linux, so I could give porting the game a shot during the weekend.

And voila!! In Halloween Picket Maze, you play as an adorable cat who’s lost and trying to make her way back home through a Halloween-themed maze. But it’s not just any maze — this one’s full of all things Halloween. Going from pumpkins and candies to sneaky ghosts and tricky costumes. It’s also the kind of title that gets you right into that festive spirit. Jens Åkerblom, CEO and programmer of GameLoom, is eager for this release and couldn’t be prouder. “With this release, we’ve done something that 75% of developers haven’t: we survived long enough to create a second Steam game.” Jens said with a grin. “Our previous title were great, but this one feels like a real milestone for us.”

Halloween Picket Maze Trailer

The idea for Halloween Picket Maze actually came from a smaller project GameLoom put together last Halloween called Tiny Halloween Story. The team loved working on that little prototype so much that they knew they wanted to expand it. And expand it they did! They’ve pumped up the game with more levels, more polish, and more of that eerie Halloween charm. It’s come a long way from the original idea, both in how it looks and how it plays. So, what can you expect from Halloween Picket Maze?

60 levels that’ll challenge you with all sorts of grid-based puzzles.

A cute cat protagonist who’s just trying to find her way home.

Enemies like ghosts, hounds, and pumpkins to keep things exciting.

Plenty of goodies, from cardboard boxes to hide in, Halloween costumes, and, of course, candies to collect!

And even some Halloween-themed poems sprinkled throughout the gameplay to keep that spooky vibe going.

Halloween Picket Maze is built for all ages, so whether you’re a Halloween fan looking to dive into the spooky spirit or just in for a fun challenge, there’s something here for everyone. The title has launched with full support for both Linux and Windows on Steam. And it’s already up for grabs at a nice seasonal 15% discount, dropping the price to $6.79 USD, £5.68, or €6.62. So, if you’re ready to add some festive spook, grab the Halloween Picket Maze action puzzle game and help that cute little cat find her way home. It’s a purrfect pick for this season’s gaming line up don’t miss out.

🔮🐈‍⬛ 😈 & 😈🐈‍⬛🔮

✨ BABBUSHKA’S ✨ 10 YEAR BLOGIVERSARY

🔮🐈‍⬛ 😈 & 😈🐈‍⬛🔮

✨ SAFARIGIRLSP’S ✨ ✨ BIRTHDAY BASH ✨

August is my birthday month, and anyone who's been here long knows Halloween is my favorite time of the year! I also just finished a big 200k plus story and want a little break before starting the next big thing. And on top of that, it’s my wonderful friend Babbushka’s 10 year blogiversary! So, we’re going to celebrate in our favorite ways — by writing spooky stories and tormenting our favorite characters!

REQUESTS ARE NOW OPEN for anything spooky or related to SUMMERWEEN! Please read this entire post for complete information, and if you're new, please take a look at my Masterlist. And see Babbushka’s Masterlist for all of her stories and guidelines.

We’re inviting everyone to celebrate with us! Readers and Writers alike!

All Readers: Please send us requests, ideas, thoughts, HCs, anything you like! And as many as you like! I’ll pick our favorites or, very likely, a combination of a few different ideas, and write a oneshot that includes everything I can fit in. Feel free to send in multiple ideas or requests! The more ideas to choose from, the better! All AU concepts, time periods, etc are welcome. Anything is fair game.

All Writers: Please feel free to repost, steal any prompts, write anything, and do your own thing with all of this! I'd love to be tagged in any content pertaining to Adam characters or anything related to Spencer from 1923.

I’m only writing for Mills, Flip, and Jacques for big oneshots. If any new followers have a Spencer request, I would write for him too. I will do HC’s for anyone I have ever written for.

I have a strong preference for horror, action, adventure, and AU's.

My stories generally range in size from 5k to 25k, and some are even more! Look for a mix of horror, humor, romance, and adventure! Everything will contain adult themes and mature content. My masterlist has more detail on what I like and don't like, but one of my few hard no's are ships of any kind.

Requests will be open for one week, from July 26 - August 2. However, because I tend to write longer stories, the sooner an idea comes in, the more likely I am to use it.

This is an Adults Only event. My content is not for minors, or people who are easily triggered or offended. I write mature content intended for a mature audience only. All my content is buyer beware for wholesale offense and toxicity.

Keep reading for prompts!

*VESTA EVENT #006

*SUPERNATURAL AU_

*DATE_

The event will begin SUNDAY OCTOBER 18th at 12pm EST and end on SUNDAY OCTOBER 25 at 12pm EST.

*SPECIAL FEATURES_

The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash

The (momentarily) supernatural town of Vesta, MI Halloween is a week long celebration. The supernatural beings of Vesta each put on their own Halloween party, each one trying to one up the other, and invite the mortals to enjoy the party. In a world of the magic and mystic though, not everything is as it seems.

Party #1 - The Fairies  Wednesday Night Hosted by: @jooniesong​   Magical Element: You might want to stay away from the punch at this party, unless you don’t mind being candid the rest of the night. Just like fairies can’t lie, this punch makes the drinker truthful, and only truthful, the rest of the evening. Other party events/location: Its going to be at one of the parks. Midsummer Nights Dream-esque. Lots of pretty flowers and twinkly lights and homemade food. 

Party #2 - The Vampires Thursday Night Hosted by: @lysataylor​ Magical Element: Most Vesta Vampires have learned to survive without drinking human blood, so mortals are safe! However, we suggest you stay away from the impressive portrait of Dracula. If you look into his eyes for even a split second, you fall under a vampiric hypnotism and will be controlled by the next person you speak to. Other party events/location: Royal Museum of Art.  Decadent black tie charity event with a small band and cocktails.

Party #3- The Witches Friday Night Hosted by: @autumnhornburg​ Magical Element: The Witches are known for some of the best brews in Vesta. At this party, they’re letting everyone sample their newest drinks, and they just might have some influence on your mood. The drink in the yellow bottle makes you cheery. The drink in the green bottle makes you jealous. Pink makes you flirty. Blue makes you sad. Purple makes you sleepy. And orange makes you scared. Other party events/location: Warehouse in the Industrial Park that has been done up for the night.

Party #4 - The Werewolves Saturday Night (Full Moon) Hosted by: @carter-penn​ Magical Element: The werewolves have set up a huge corn maze, but you don’t want to get lost in the maze after the full moon rises. At that point it turns into a haunted corn maze, run by the werewolves in their wolf form - unable to change back to their human form. (Don’t worry mortals, they have much more control in their wolf forms now than they do in all the old tales.) Other party events/location: Party to be held in Sweetville Park in Quincy Borough as some of the most sinister, immoral, wicked folks hide behind the white picket fences of the suburbs. Themed drinks from local bartenders like the Wolf’s Blood (Whiskey, Vermouth, Blood Orange Liqueur, Bitters, Orange Bitters), the Silver Bullet (Vodka, Lemon juice, Gin), and the Full Moon Cocktail (Black Forest red wine, bourbon, simple syrup, and a large round ice ball). Wandering throughout the party are local magicians practicing slight of hand and transformation of objects. 

*NOTE_

 In true supernatural fashion, time is a little wonky. The parties are simply backdrops for threads and you can play as if you’re at any party throughout the week of event (they don’t have to be in chronological order). 

General lore for each species can be applied to your characters. If you have any questions about what is or isn’t allowed, just ask! Also, always check with your RP partner to make sure they’re okay with whatever supernatural elements you’re applying to your threads. 

The magical elements of the parties are completely optional! They are there to inspire and encourage different, fun threads.

This is an AU event, so the things that happen during this week will not bleed into your normal character development, etc. 

For those who want nothing to do with a supernatural element, you’re welcome to play mortals at a normal Halloween party since all magical elements at the parties are optional. We encourage Halloween costumes and other normal Halloween traditions! 

Unless your character is picked to host one of the parties, you’re welcome to change the supernatural species of your character prior to the start of the event from what you had originally put on the survey.

Please tag any general event starters with #vestaevent006

Please tag any party with #vestaevent followed by the species (for example #vestaeventwitches)

HAVE FUN WITH THIS! 

Please like this post once you have read it!

[signify-nothing]

Monster Mash by Bobby "Boris" Picket and The Crypt-Kickers is one of my Halloween favorites!

It’s one of mine, too!

Since the Monster Mash is such a quintessential Halloween classic, I feel like the ideal Halloween-themed date for you would be something really autumnal and fun but not necessarily too spooky, so I’m going to go with a corn maze followed by holing up in a cozy cafe for a little while with some cider and pumpkin pie.

Thanks for the rec!
