Pumpkin Derby

Pumpkin Derby is a free Halloween marble race you can play right in your browser. Pick one of twelve racers — a jack-o’-lantern, a skeleton, a ghost, a vampire, a witch and more — and roll against eleven others down a haunted track that is different every race.

Steer, push, brake and jump on the way down. Grab candies on the bends for a burst of speed, play a tune on the bone piano, xylophone, bells and drums as you bounce over their keys, roll straight into the mouth of a giant pumpkin and drop through a witch’s cauldron into the sky. A ghost hand may pick you up for a closer look, and the friendly folk on the sky island are not quite as friendly as they say.

Every race runs through three of four places — an old graveyard, Candy Land, a pumpkin patch and an enchanted forest — with something going on around every bend. Finish in the top three for the podium and fireworks, collect candies, and fill an album with the ghost photographer’s snapshots of your racer. Races take under a minute, on PC, phone and tablet with no download.
