Avalon Hill Betrayal at House on the Hill 3rd Edition Game

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good game for older kids. I really enjoyed playing it with my family. The little kids felt left out but the grown ups and big kids enjoyed a lot!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fun filled night for the horror loving family. Makes an evening of fun for everyone. Directions are easy to follow and understand. Seems durable for lots of years of family fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just played Betrayal at House on the Hill (3rd Edition) and it was such a fun ride. The game starts off cooperative as you explore this creepy old mansion together, uncovering rooms and strange events—and then suddenly, one of you becomes the traitor and everything flips. It felt super immersive and dramatic, like being dropped into a horror movie with your friends. What I loved most was how every game is different because of the variety of “haunts” that can happen. The twist when the betrayal happens is honestly my favorite part. It’s chaotic in the best way. Also, this 3rd edition looks great and feels a bit more streamlined than the older one. Highly recommend if you like a mix of strategy, suspense, and a little bit of betrayal (in a fun way, of course).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a wonderful game for entertainment on stay in nights with friends and family! Great for the value for money as there are 50 different scenarios to play with. Very high quality, I was surprised by the thickness of cards and figures provided. Durable to last a long time. Packaging itself is basic as it is for all games!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The game was fun. We played with 5 people total. Set up was easy. Instructions relatively easy. There was a mistake on the cards- Instructions say “strange dust “ the card says “a vial of dust”. The game odds well made so it will last quite awhile.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Most definitely was a night of fun with friends and family. Not a board game we all have played which was Very interesting! We all enjoyed it especially with it all being a night away from all our children it was an adult night! Very good quality playing pieces and packaging was very detailed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family and friends loved this game! The packaging is very eye catching and made us all excited to play. It seems well made and like it was last many years. It wasn't too hard to understand how to play buy definitely takes some time to finish.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re into spooky stories, surprise twists, and board games that don’t take themselves too seriously, Betrayal at House on the Hill is definitely worth checking out. It’s part haunted house exploration, part horror movie, and part "oh no, my friend just turned evil." What’s the game like? At the start, everyone’s working together to explore a creepy old mansion. You flip over room tiles to build the house as you go, collecting items and having weird, creepy things happen to you. Then—boom—someone triggers “the Haunt,” and suddenly the vibe totally changes. One player becomes the traitor (usually), and now it’s everyone else versus them in some kind of horror scenario. There are a ton of different stories that can happen, so the game feels fresh every time. What’s fun about it: -The game tells a cool little horror story every time you play. -Tons of different possible scenarios keep things interesting. -It’s super thematic and great for Halloween or game nights with friends. -Pretty easy to learn, even if you’re not a hardcore board gamer. What’s not so great: -Some of the endings feel a bit unbalanced or random. -The rules for the Haunt can get confusing at times. -Depending on the version you have, some components (like the character boards) are a little flimsy. Who will like it? This game is great for groups who like storytelling, surprise twists, and don’t mind a bit of chaos. It’s especially fun with 4–5 players and works best when people really get into the theme. If you like horror movies, you’ll probably have a blast. Final thoughts: Some games end in hilarious disaster, some are super tense, and others are just plain weird—but that’s kind of the charm. Grab some snacks, dim the lights, and enjoy the chaos.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Publisher: Avalon Hill Designed by: Bruce Glassco Players: 3–6 Ages: 12+ Playtime: ~60 minutes Review: Betrayal at House on the Hill is a suspense-filled, semi-cooperative board game where players explore a haunted mansion that builds itself room by room. At some point, one of the players turns traitor, triggering a unique "haunt" scenario that shifts the game into a dramatic, story-driven showdown. The 3rd edition brings: Refreshed artwork and miniatures Revised haunts for better balance and clarity Streamlined rules, making it more accessible to new players Pros: Over 50 unique haunt scenarios = high replay value Great storytelling and horror atmosphere Surprises and plot twists keep everyone on their toes Cons: Balance can be hit or miss depending on the haunt Not ideal for players who dislike hidden traitor mechanics.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very high quality packaging and amazing art work. Very durable board has multiple games to play in it. Great for parties with anyone over the age of 17.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My teenager really enjoyed playing this game with us. The game was simple to play and neatly packaged. I would definitely buy one to give as a gift.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fairly good quality with plastics game pieces. Love the boxing of this game very eye catching. Does put me in the mind of the board game clue which I love to play. Like any other game but with plastic pieces.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have yet to have the chance to play this but i did read through the instructions & it seems like it will be super fun to play! i just have to get some people together. the pieces are all very nicely made & feel durable. seems it will be easy enough to follow along. i can’t wait!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging was nice and eye catching. I’m not into scary stuff and have never seen these movies but I have some friends that I think will really enjoy this game.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a fan of Betrayal at House on the Hill 2nd Edition for years, but since my son took that one to college I was excited to pick up the new 3rd Edition. The new version has been updated and streamlined quite a lot, and I think all the changes are individually great. Taken collectively, I’m wondering if maybe the game is now a bit too streamlined. I need a few more plays to be sure, but I suspect it strongly. The Good: The new artwork is much more vibrantly colored, without being cartoony. The Haunt Roll can no longer trigger on the first or second Omen card There are significantly fewer tiny little tokens to keep track of. The overall gameplay is the same as the previous version, and there are still 50 different possible Haunts. The players can now choose a background reason for why they are exploring the House, which affects the style of Haunts they will trigger, rather than it being completely random.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re looking for a Halloween themed board game to play with friends or family, betrayal is amazing. The packaging is very nice and it’s for kids 12 and up 3 to 6 players.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family of four spent hours playing since we got it. Very fun and engaging. This game is definitely not for children. The game is well made and should last a long time. The box is beautiful. Á fun game for adventurous adults. Priced right for hours of fun.

Probably one of my favorite games, interesting to play and offers a different game every time.

Super fun for game night! I'm so excited to play this game again soon. I love that the game is different every time you play, so that keeps it fresh and exciting.

This is the 3rd edition of this game- by now they should be able to have cardboard that pops out with out messing up the pieces. Below par quality for sure
