A cemetery's worth of phantoms, wraiths, and poltergeists

Registration is required. This event is intended for middle school and high school students.

Get into the Halloween spirit by playing Speed Dating for Ghosts with the Teen Services Librarian. In this visual novel/dating sim, we'll take turns on the controller, chatting with spirits of all kinds. With the right responses, we might get to go on a "date" with them. The "dates" are not necessarily romantic in nature. Dates can involve haunting a house together, traveling through mirrors, robbing a bank, or even solving a murder case. In this game, there are funny parts and spooky parts. Mostly, it's delightfully strange.

Age ratings:

  • ESRB Age Rating: Teen
  • Nintendo: 12 or older
  • Apple App Store: 13 or older

Content note:

There is no explicit sexual content in this game. Some character designs are intentionally scary. They are ghosts, after all. You can view all character designs here.

AGE GROUP: | Tweens | Teen |

EVENT TYPE: | Games & Puzzles |
