Slayaway Camp is a 2016 horror-themed puzzle video game developed and published by Blue Wizard Digital. Using the setting of 1980s slasher films, it has players controlling a killer, navigating two-dimensional grids of obstacles to reach and kill their victims. Each level is a puzzle in the tradition of block-pushing puzzle games established by Sokoban. Developer Blue Wizard Digital, led by Popcap Games co-founder Jason Kapalka, sought to develop such a puzzle game but without the typical theming, which they deemed uninteresting, and described the final product as "for people who hate puzzle games".
