Board Game Ravensburger Horrified (27272) — Cooperative multiplayer monster-themed tabletop game

Ravensburger Horrified is a cooperative multiplayer board game in which players join forces to defeat classic movie monsters. Each player controls a unique hero with specific skills, and together the group faces asymmetric threats presented by iconic creatures. The game emphasizes teamwork, time management and resource allocation as players complete scenario-driven objectives and use cards, tokens and actions to counter monster behaviors and urgent events.

Advantages

Horrified offers accessible rules and structured turns that accommodate players of different experience levels while preserving strategic depth. The cooperative format removes player elimination and encourages shared decision-making. Asymmetric monster abilities and scenario objectives create replayability and varied challenge levels, and the physical components—including character figures, monster standees and modular boards—support tactile engagement during multiplayer sessions.

How to use

Work together to complete the scenario objectives before the threat level escalates; successful coordination and efficient use of actions are central to winning.

Usage recommendations
