Escape Halloween 2026: two nights of horror and bass

On October 30 and 31, 2026 the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, California turns into a haunted house with nine stages once more. Escape Halloween is Insomniac's big Halloween party: costumes, horror themes and a crowd that has been counting down for months.

The bill is led by Zedd, Richie Hawtin, Excision and Ice Cube, with regulars like Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Galantis, Steve Aoki, Benny Benassi and Alok. Underneath sits a heavy dose of hard dance and techno, with names like Nina Kraviz and Indira Paganotto.

What is Hitster?

Hitster is the card game where every card has a QR code that plays a song, and you guess the year it came out. Place the card correctly on your timeline and you keep it. First to enough cards wins. Dance music is tricky: does that kick drum sound like 1993 or 2019?

With Hitify you build a pack around any taste, including a festival like Escape Halloween. Search for songs or paste a Spotify playlist and Hitify looks up the original release year of each track. Then you download printable cards with QR codes or order a printed game.
