Spot familiar horror-film moments, from a slowly creaking door to a phone that stops working or an old recording that reveals a clue. Tick off what you see and hear as you watch.

How to run this activity

Choose a suitable event, film or licensed music playlist in advance; tick only cues actually observed or heard. Do not use copyrighted film stills, lyrics, artwork or branded franchise logos as official RoomZing template content. Provide accessible alternatives to sound-only cues.

Facilitator guidance

Preview the board against your chosen film and check how often its cues occur. Aim for a single-line win rather than a full card, making sure five in a row is realistically achievable. Replace unlikely cues and offer substitutes, including accessible alternatives to sound-only cues.

Safety and inclusion

Use inclusive language and do not pressure players to disclose private information. Check that the film's content suits your group and that you have any necessary permission or licence to show it. Use original prompts and visuals with permitted media only; do not include franchise logos, protected artwork, film stills or reproduced lyrics in template materials.
