Retro Horror - Halloween Night

What it’s about: A fun retrospective board that brings Halloween vibes into your sprint reflection. With pumpkins, potions, and retro horror aesthetics, it turns your retro into a creative, engaging team ritual.

What it helps you achieve: It encourages open conversation about what went well, what didn’t, and what actions to take.

Who benefits most: Agile teams, Scrum Masters, and facilitators who want to run sprint retrospectives that feel less formal and more team-spirited.

How to use it:

1. Start with the Pumpkin Rating icebreaker — teammates place their sticky notes under the pumpkin that reflects their sprint experience.

2. Move into Treats vs. Tricks — brainstorm what went well and what didn’t using sticky notes.

3. Wrap up with Spells & Potions — capture improvement actions as magical potions and vote on the ones to implement.
