The Ghost in the Attic

About this board game

The Ghost in the Attic is a mystery board game for 1–6 players, inspired by the tension and discovery of an escape room. A replica board game arrives chained up with a metal combination lock, challenging you to work out how it can be opened.

The game has a disturbing history. When this haunted board game was released in the 1950s, terrible things happened to those who played it. Now, the only way to investigate what happened is to play the game yourself and follow the mystery wherever it leads.

Rather than simply reading about a supernatural puzzle, you must engage directly with the physical game. Examine what you have, determine how to unlock it, and uncover the clues needed to understand the story. Every step brings you closer to the truth behind the haunting.

Designed as a mystery experience with escape-room-style discovery, The Ghost in the Attic asks players to think carefully and work together—or take on the investigation alone. The central challenge is not only opening the chained game, but also finding and solving the mystery concealed within it.

Can you discover what happened to the players from the 1950s? Can you solve the haunted game’s secrets and banish the ghost forever? Gather your group, confront the locked replica, and begin the investigation.
