About Halloween Racing
Halloween is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than by playing some spooky racing games? We've collected the best Halloween-themed racing games for you to play, so get ready for some ghoulish fun!
How to play Halloween Racing
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. There is no penalty for failing, so push a little harder than feels safe.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Steer, accelerate and brake |
| Spacebar | Handbrake or nitro boost |
| R | Reset the car after a crash |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
