Google's Costume Wizard Helps Pick the Perfect Costume

What are you going to be for Halloween? A witch (again)? A ghost (again)? NO! Google has a tool that is supposed to help you find the PERFECT costume.

It's called "Costume Wizard." It came out in 2019, but not a lot of people know about it. It's got four different options that let you dial in the type of costume you want to wear.

First, you choose your desired "Spookiness Level" on a scale from zero to 100. Then you choose between "classic" or "modern" costumes.

There's also button that lets you base everything on the top-trending costumes in your area, or the entire U.S. And at the bottom, there's another scale from zero to 100 that lets you choose your desired "Uniqueness."

Mess with the settings a little and you'll get all kinds of ideas. For example, when asked for a "classic" costume, with the Spookiness and Uniqueness set to zero, it said that an "Angel" is the perfect costume. When asked for a "modern" costume, and set Spookiness and Uniqueness to 100, it said to dress as a character from the movie "Saw".

You can check it out at Frightgeist.WithGoogle.com. Look for "Costume Wizard" in the top left corner.
