Hex Hour — Heroes on the map of your own block

How to play

By day, walk your block. Triple loot and rare chests. Rather stay in? The drone brings it home.
By evening, lead three mages against the night monsters. After sunset, zombies, werewolves, vampires and ghosts crawl out of the breaches. Pick an order, and the battle plays out on its own.
Light all 31 blocks. Beat the Breachlord, light the Lantern, and the block turns green. The goal: Lit 31/31.

Screenshots

Your neighborhood: 31 blocks of real OpenStreetMap streets.

Read the omen, pick an order. Then the battle plays itself.

Lit 12/31. Red is a breach, green is yours.

Battlemage, Witch, Enchanter. Each one is best against their own kind of monster.
