In a haunted Scottish manor hotel, ghosts hide among the rooms while hunters try to uncover them. The ghosts seek to cause at least £45,000 in damage by removing room tiles, while the hunters must identify their locations before that total is reached. The two-level board contains 36 rooms, each with a value from £1,000 to £6,000. Each ghost hides beneath a matching room type and destroys adjacent tiles as it moves. Hunters remove tiles to investigate, adding to the damage themselves, and must use the revealed patterns to deduce where the ghosts are concealed.
