There are approximately 14 games in all and they comprise still screens cluttered with all sorts of objects. This message takes the form of a torn piece of paper within a frame, and it is gathered piece by piece by completing the I Spy games. The only way out is by deciphering the 'secret message' that points the way to escape. Oops, the door slams shut and it has no knob, and no keyhole. Enter if you dareĪfter typing in their name the child is invited to enter the mansion by a young narrator in a suitably disquieting tone. Apart from this activity, when the player is in control, there are no unannounced fright episodes to worry the younger ones. Really, despite the setting, the spookiness is low level with a number of dimly lit rooms full of crazy paraphernalia to explore, and an activity to conjure up just 7 harmless ghosts that don't stay around to do any haunting. It all happens in a Spooky Mansion, on a dark night, and with a Skeleton as a playmate. Review by Rosemary Young (May, 2003) Targeted at children aged 6 to 10 this is a game with a lot of I Spying.
