Halloween 2025 is the perfect time to bring some fright to your game table. From chilling board games to atmospheric horror TTRPGs, we’ve gathered 10 of the best spooky tabletop games for long autumn nights. Whether you want ghostly mysteries like Beyond the Veil, tragic storytelling with Ten Candles, or the eerie folklore of Restless Spirits, this list has something to make your Halloween unforgettable.

For almost six years we have poured our hearts into building Beyond the Veil, our supernatural investigative TTRPG. Every rule and every piece of lore has been shaped to create an unforgettable experience where players sit at the forefront of the story, driving the narrative and unraveling the mysteries put before them by the Overseer. We had originally planned to launch our Kickstarter on 1st October 2025, but after careful reflection, we have made the difficult decision to

Beyond the Veil is a supernatural investigative TTRPG that strips away complex rules for fast, story-driven play. With its unique Fear system, classless design, and focus on mystery, it delivers less crunch and more flavour. Perfect for newcomers and seasoned players alike, Beyond the Veil keeps the tension high while giving you freedom to tell unforgettable stories.

In Beyond the Veil, the concept of manifest destiny keeps gameplay fast and flexible. Instead of tracking long inventories, players make reasonable assumptions about items and environments, while Overseers guide the results. From tools and weapons to secret passages, if it makes sense in context, it exists. This system balances structure with creativity, letting your table shape each investigation together.

At Tabletop Scotland we were often asked: “Is Beyond the Veil suitable for kids?” The answer is yes. With an age recommendation of 7+, this supernatural mystery TTRPG can be as light or as dark as you want it to be. From Scooby Doo style fun to Stranger Things inspired investigations, Beyond the Veil was created with families in mind and is the perfect way to introduce young players to the world of roleplaying games.

Whether you’re a veteran gamer or brand new to roleplaying, there’s a seat at the table waiting for you.

In Beyond the Veil, fighting is not about honour or tactics but survival. Investigators are rarely trained warriors, and conflict is messy, frantic, and dangerous. Learn how the system balances chaos, improvisation, and teamwork while reminding players that violence is never the only option.

Beyond the Veil takes a classless and levelless approach to character creation. From day jobs and phobias to unique talents and reflexive actions, you can shape your Investigator in any direction. Whether a sceptic, believer, or something in between, your story begins here.
