Eye On The Blog: "The Return of the Haunted Halloween Tour," Halloween Glytches, and Premium Gift

Linden Lab is getting into the Halloween spirit by announcing the return of the "Halloween Haunted Tour." The fifth installment of this haunted ride, the Lab promises some new tricks to this Halloween treat.

Who says horror series can’t get better and better? The bone-chilling Haunted Tour is back again - and this fifth installment offers some new twists! Hop in a coffin and enjoy the wild ride through the twisted mind of madness. There is a rule in horror that you’re more likely to survive if you travel with a friend - so face your fears, grab your favorite squad of fiend-fighting friends and follow the Halloween path at Portal Park to the abyss of oblivion at the Haunted Halloween Tour.

For those playing the "Tyrah and the Magical Glytches game," there are some Halloween-themed Glytches to collect. So keep your HUD and weapon handy.

For Premium residents, Linden Lab is offering a special gift just for you: the Haunted Campsite.

This is a fully interactive scene straight out of an 80s horror movie. You can control so many different elements, including weather, bats, music, and much more. Customize your tombstones, seek some relief from the unrelenting elements in your very own tent (though it won’t protect you from machete-wielding maniacs or hungry monsters!), and enjoy candy apples and scary stories around the roaring campfire.
 

There are so many options, it’s almost terrifying!

Review: The "Tyrah and the Magical Glytches" Game

Second Life isn't just about the clubs and making stuff. Sometimes you just want to play a game. A few months ago, Linden Lab announced their latest inworld game, "Tyrah and the Curse of the Magical Glytches." Yours truly gave the game a try, and recently wrote about how it's played.

Linden Lab Announces New Game in Second Life: "Tyrah and the Curse of the Magical Glytches"

In late June, and more recently in late August, Linden Lab was talking about a "grid-wide gaming experience" coming "soon." On Monday September 18, they announced it had arrived: "Tyrah and the Curse of the Magical Glytches."

The plot of the game is that Tyrah, the girl in danger in the Horizons game, has been rescued. But somehow Magellan Linden has apparently died. While Tyrah and the Moles are still talking about who will help protect the Grid, a new threat emerges: Ruth. Furious at being all but forgotten, she takes advantage of Magellan's departure to unleash magical creatures called "Glytches" on the Grid to wreck havoc. Not sure what to do, Magellan's robot sidekick Punkee decides on using the tactic of his former boss: get the residents to help out.

To play the game, head to Portal Park and head to the portal to the new area, called Hartyshire, and pick up the HUD and beginning weapon at the Gem Apothecary. The HUD will take you to the places you need to go to catch the Glytches. For those who got the SL14B avatar and it's egg this summer, there's a place at the Apothecary you can hatch it.

We'll have some more details soon on how to play the game and the prizes you can get. But if you're in a hurry to start, head to Portal Park at (175/118/52).
