Ghostbusters "Haunted Candy Hunt" AR game lets you hunt for ghosts and candy this halloween

Trap ghosts in the Haunted Candy Hunt from Ferrara and Ghostbusters and earn your chance to win sweet prizes

Ferrara collaborated with Sony Pictures’ Ghostbusters to create a fun WebAR experience that lets families hunt for ghosts (and candy!) from the comfort of their home. Created by agency Trigger, the Haunted Candy Hunt takes players on a Halloween adventure where they can walk around their living room, kitchen and backyard to find classic Ghostbusters ghouls including Slimer, as well as new characters created just for the game.

“While Halloween may look different this year, now more than ever consumers are seeking out new ways to enjoy Halloween traditions and celebrate the season,” said Mariah Havens, Senior Brand Manager of Seasonal Marketing at Ferrara. “This year, we’re thrilled to work with Sony Pictures and the iconic Ghostbusters franchise to offer a virtual spin on the classic neighborhood trick-or-treating experience. This augmented reality game allows fans to hunt for candy, ghosts and more!”

Users can capture the ghosts for a chance to win prizes including the Hasbro™ Ghostbusters Plasma Series and Kenner Series newly-released action figures — as well as a grand prize of a Sony® Home Theater Package, including a 55" Sony 55X900H TV, WS1 Immersive Wearable Speaker, Blu-ray player and PlayStation 4.
