Hasbro Gaming Avalon Hill Betrayal at House on the Hill Second Edition — Cooperative Horror Board Game for 3–6 Players, 50 Scenarios

Step into a haunted mansion with Betrayal at House on the Hill

The creak of floorboards, a chilling draft, and the scent of something long forgotten—these are the moments Betrayal at House on the Hill invites you to chase. In this award-winning cooperative board game, you and your friends build a haunted mansion tile by tile, exploring dim corridors and mysterious rooms as you collect items, encounter events, and uncover the house’s secrets. The second edition from Avalon Hill refreshes the experience with the same tense balance of teamwork and uncertainty, ensuring every session feels like a fresh chapter of a suspenseful story.

What to expect in a typical night

Designed for 3–6 players aged 12 and up, a single game runs about an hour, though no two games feel the same. The board isn’t static: you assemble modular room tiles that form a new layout each time, keeping the haunt fresh and the tension high as you decide which door to open next, which room to explore, and which item to clutch for safety.

• 50 distinct haunt scenarios offer a wide range of challenges and moods, from eerie investigations to full-on horror adventures.
• Six explorer miniatures arrive pre-painted to help you visualize your characters and choices as the mansion unfolds.
• Concrete components—80 cards, 149 tokens, 44 room tiles, 2 haunt books—provide tactile thrills and quick setup.

How the game creates tension and teamwork

At its core, Betrayal at House on the Hill blends cooperation with social deduction. The group must collaborate to survive the mansion’s dangers, but as the haunt begins, one player may shift from ally to rival. That twist creates memorable moments of suspense, misdirection, and strategy as you weigh risks, share discoveries, and reassess loyalties in real time.

• Immerse in a cinematic, story-driven experience with themes that nod to witches, dragons, zombies, and classic B-movie horror.
• Accessible for newcomers while offering depth for seasoned players through varied objectives and room-by-room exploration.

Whether you’re planning a game night with friends or seeking a tense family-friendly challenge, this edition invites you to imagine the unknown and play at your own pace. It’s not about guarantees—it's about the possibilities: a clever plan that almost works, an eerie clue that reshapes the mansion, or a bold alliance that collapses when a corner is turned.
