The '''Egg Throwing Game''' is accessible by clicking "play a game while you wait?" at the [[Homestarloween Party]] loading screen. It is a very simple game; you control Strong Bad by clicking the egg labeled "throw." Strong Bad then throws an egg at the three trick-or-treaters dressed as ghosts who run behind the fence at various speeds. You get infinite eggs and every hit will garner you 50 points. It is unknown whether or not there is any reward for reaching a certain score.

[edit] Gameplay

By clicking the egg labeled "throw", Strong Bad throws an egg at passing trick-or-treaters dressed as ghosts. Three appear at a time, running behind the fence at various speeds. If the hit connects, a honking sound effect plays and the player is awarded 50 points (hitting two trick-or-treaters with one egg will award 100 points). Only one egg can be thrown at a time; clicking "throw" while an egg is already in motion will restart its path rather than launching a second egg. Eggs are in infinite supply, and there is only a single level to play.

[edit] Fun Facts

  • A screenshot of the game with a high score of 203,850 is seen in the Museum Fan Stuff page, sent by fan Chris Kantus. Achieving this score would require hitting 4,077 of the trick-or-treaters, an effort that the description jokes would take "2 whole days".
