Finding the right amount of spooky in your kid’s tabletop RPG

I made this list so you could find some options for spooky tabletop RPGs that work with a young kids all in one place! Looking up “spooky tabletop RPG for kids” or “Halloween tabletop RPG for kids” before making this list resulted in a lot of fairly intense horror game lists that got top position in the search. It took some digging to find a few of these, so I’m hoping this help parents, teachers, caregivers, and anyone wanting to share some casual Halloween fun some options more easily!
With that in mind, I also know that everyone is different. Some kids want scary games, and others may find certain elements of the games listed here too scary. I did my best to sort them out and give a little bit of a description so you at least have an easier time picking and finding some options that will work for your particular players.
