Google is making it easy to find the costume of your dreams with their new feature that’s just in time for Halloween. With Google Frightgeist’s Costume Wizard, you’re able to plug in a few simple parameters and receive a costume suggestion that’s tailored to your needs.
On a scale of one to 100, you can choose how spooky and unique you’d like your costume to be, as well as if you’d prefer a classic or a modern style. Finally, you can choose a suggestion based on national or local trends (based on US data), to get your personalized costume recommendation.
If you’d rather roll the dice on a surprise costume, there’s also the option to look through randomly generated suggestions. Just click on the search button in the upper left corner and click surprise me for costumes as varied as Ross Gellar from Friends, to a zebra.
In addition to the Costume Wizard, Google’s Frightgeist Halloween extravaganza is also sharing the top costumes for 2019 using trending searches from across the U.S.
