This Halloween, a crack is forming between our world and the mystical other side! Will you answer the call and close the rift before mischief turns to mayhem!? As the spirit and human worlds collide, sneaky goblins, cunning boggarts and Stranger Folk are slipping through the crack to stir up trouble! Gather your team, harness the elements and seal the rift before the creatures take hold.

Stranger Folk is a brand new digital adventure to enjoy together as a family and is aimed at age 7+ (families are welcome to use their own judgement on whether younger members can join in).
