Horror
Co-op
Investigation

You investigate haunted houses with friends using ghost-hunting gear: thermometers, recorders, cameras. You have to identify the type of ghost before it decides to hunt you. As many scares as laughs.

Why play it now

When you're with friends and want a session of scares and laughs: each investigation lasts 10 to 30 minutes.

Who it's for

For groups who enjoy being scared together and talking over voice chat.

When not to pick it

Solo it loses a lot. Nor if you don't feel like being scared.
