Run, Ghost, Run!

About this board game

Run, Ghost, Run! is a 2021 board game for 2–4 players with a 45-minute play time, in which mischievous ghosts try to sneak through a hotel without being seen.

Humans are coming, and they are peeking through the keyhole. Your goal is to move as many of your ghosts through the hotel lobby as possible while keeping them concealed from human eyes.

The furnishings in the lobby provide potential places to hide. If possible, use them to keep your ghosts out of sight as they make their way through the hotel. Every move brings the challenge of advancing your own ghosts while paying attention to the hiding places chosen by your opponents.

• Play as a group of mischievous ghosts.
• Move ghosts through a hotel lobby.
• Hide behind lobby furnishings when possible.
• Try to expose your opponents’ hiding places.

Run, Ghost, Run! combines sneaking and concealment with direct interaction between players. While you work to get your ghosts through the lobby, you also try to uncover where rival ghosts are hiding, creating a contest between staying unseen and revealing others.

With its playful ghostly theme and clear focus on hiding, movement, and exposure, the game offers a distinct hotel-lobby challenge for groups of two to four. Keep your ghosts out of sight, watch the available furnishings, and look for opportunities to expose your opponents’ hiding places before they can move their ghosts onward.
