You are given 225 symbols on a 15x15 board. There are three types of symbols.
Click a symbol to eliminate a token and with it the whole cluster of similar pieces orthogonally connected with it. The remaining pieces above the deleted tokens in each column will drop down.
A cluster may consist of one piece (Rule 1). In some of the variants a cluster you want to delete must consist of at least two pieces (see Rule 2 and Rule 3 below).

The goal is to eliminate all pieces with as few clicks as possible.
The target and the move counter are shown on the right border.

Rule1-Variants :
- Random variant on 10x10 board.
- Random variant on 15x15 board.
- Ten fixed setups on the 15x15 board.
You get a win message only when you clear the board using the least number of moves! The target amount of moves and the move counter are shown on the right border.

Rule2-Variants :
- Random variant on 10x10 board.
- Random variant on 15x15 board.
- Ten fixed setups on the 15x15 board.
Clusters have to have at least two symbols.
You win when you manage to clear the board. Many of the random setups using rule 2 are not solvable.

Rule3-Variants :
- Random variant on 10x10 board.
- Random variant on 15x15 board.
Similar to rule2, but here the system automatically collects the remaining columns in the centre so that no empty column remain after a move. THIS MAKES PLAYING MUCH EASIER! Still, some random setups may not be solvable.

To see the solutions of the fixed variants, select menu option Help/ShowSolution.
Since all solutions have been found by hand, you might even be able to solve the variants with less moves than the target value.

Please note that there are four alternative piece sets available.

This is a classic elimination game which has been published in many dozen variations worldwide, but 'Halloween' seems to be the first Zillions implementation of it.
Halloween truely is a game for any age. While any child can make all symbols disappear from the screen, doing so in the minimum number of moves is very challenging even for the most experienced puzzlist.
