How Trick-or-Treat Street plays

Trick-or-Treat Street is Peabody's Halloween game, in three parts. First your child gets ready at home: a costume, face paint rather than a mask (so they can see), something that glows so drivers can see them, a flashlight, a snack before any candy, and a grown-up to walk with. Each one comes with a short reason, read aloud.

Then out the door into a whole neighborhood, with a map. At each corner your child picks which way to go (the map shows the lit houses, the ones already visited and the Big House), hops puddles and leaf piles, ducks low branches, waits for a cat to cross, and stops at every crosswalk to look left, look right and wait for the car. At each door with its porch light on they knock, and a friendly neighbor asks a question with three big answers to tap. A right answer drops candy in the bag; a wrong one gets a giggling ghost's "Boo!" and the walk goes on, so nothing is lost. The last stop is the Big House: three questions in a row for a full-size treat.

Back home, the candy is tipped out on the rug (a grown-up checks it first), counted in piles of ten ("10, 20, 30, 31, 32"), sorted into three baskets and shown as a bar graph. Then candy games: twist the wrappers open (a question hides inside), share the candy fairly between plates, and trade lollipops for chocolate bars. Candy buys costumes, a bigger bag, a brighter flashlight and four more neighborhoods, each laid out differently: Bat Alley, Skeleton Row, Witch's Wood and Haunted Hill.

The questions come from Peabody's practice: counting, adding and taking away, first sounds, rhymes and sight words for the youngest, and times tables, spelling and vocabulary further up. A Just play mode has no questions at all.

Spooky-cute, not scary

Every face smiles: grinning pumpkins, bats with little grins, a skeleton who dances, ghosts who giggle. Nothing jumps out and losing is never a scare. The street is a soft night with a warm flashlight, and a "Too spooky?" button turns the lights up. The arcade's dungeon crawler, Doomcrawl, is spookier and made for older kids, so it is not on this list.

Halloween math at home

After trick-or-treating for real, the candy haul is a good math lesson. Sort it by kind, count each pile in tens and ones, and make a bar graph with the wrappers. Guess how many pieces are in the bag before you count. Trade three small pieces for one big one and talk about what is fair.

Questions parents ask

Are these Halloween games free?

Yes. They are free through the end of 2026, with no ads and no sign-up to start playing.

Are they too scary for little kids?

They are made for a kindergartner: friendly ghosts and grinning pumpkins, no gore and no jump scares. In Trick-or-Treat Street the "Too spooky?" button lifts the dark.

What ages are they for?

Trick-or-Treat Street starts at pre-K and kindergarten and its questions follow the grade a child picks, up to about 5th grade. The others in the table are for kindergarten and up.

Do they work on a phone, tablet or Chromebook?

Yes, in the browser. On a phone the games play sideways and fill the screen.

Will Trick-or-Treat Street go away after Halloween?

No. It stays in the arcade all year, with its costumes and streets.
