About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to spice up your treasure hunts! This expansion for Ghost Fightin' Treasure Hunters introduces new challenges and surprises to make the haunted house even more thrilling. The main star is the 'undefeatable' blue ghost figure, which not only joins the party but also has the power to teleport players to random rooms, increasing the chaos and fun. Imagine the mayhem! Additionally, the expansion adds four secret passage tiles. These are one-time use shortcuts that can save your skin (or get you into trouble, depending on how you use them!). To top it off, twelve cursed treasures enter the scene. Each of these treasures carries a curse for whoever holds it, adding a new layer of strategy and risk to the collection. Is it worth grabbing that shiny treasure if it curses you? This expansion is perfect for those who have already mastered the base game and are looking for an extra dose of excitement, unpredictability, and cooperative challenges. It doesn't drastically change the rules but adds elements that ensure no two games are the same, keeping the tension high as you try to escape the ghosts and collect the treasures before it's too late. It's a worthwhile upgrade for the die-hard fans!
