Ghostbusters: Haunted Candy Hunt game promises a howlin’ Halloween

Haunted Candy Hunt is a new AR Web game from Trigger for your smartphone where you can trap ghosts just like the Ghostbusters gang!

Haunted Candy Hunt is the perfect holiday diversion for that little Ghostbuster (or big one) in your household. A new augmented reality Web game for your smartphone from Trigger and powered by 8th Wall, it gives everyone in your family the chance to feel like they are hunting ghosts with Peter, Ray and Egon.

With Ghostbusters: Afterlife looming on the horizon in 2021, this effort is a great way to get in on the fun. Remember Slimer from the original 80’s film? Well, now you can try and capture him as well as a never before seen spirit, Sweeter the Ferrara Candy Ghost which was created exclusively for the game.

You can begin your howlin’ Halloween by logging into GhostHuntnTrap on your device. Text GHOST to 87963 to access the AR experience. Before you know it, you will be ghostbusting in no time.

Of course, to sweeten the pot, users will get the chance to win awesome prizes each week. That’s incentive enough to fire up your proton packs and start capturing those apparitions.

Sony Pictures (who owns the Ghostbusters’ franchise) and Ferrara (the maker of all those candies you loved as a kid, Lemonheads, Atomic Fireballs and Red Hots), have joined forces to create Haunted Candy Hunt. So, you know you are in for a real treat!

Unfortunately, trick or treating may not be happening this year courtesy of the pandemic but that does not mean that the Halloween spirit is dead. So, enjoy the holiday virtually with Trigger’s latest production.

After playing Haunted Candy Hunt you can watch Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II on Sling, fuboTV, Amazon Prime, VUDU, Redbox, FandangoNOW, Google Play, iTunes, YouTube, Microsoft, AMC On Demand and DirecTV.
