A friendly-ghost mystery
The Haunted Manor
90 seconds — what it is, how it plays, and how to host it
The story
What is it?
Spooky-lite and kid-kind: every ghost is friendly, and the Phantom just needs his song finished. Teams gather evidence with Ectoplasm, dodge Cold Drafts, question witnesses like Duchess the Cat and the backwards Hall Clock — and one team is secretly the Phantom's Ally. The trail of ten manor treasures ends at the piano bench.
