A little ghost has an exam to pass, and you steer it through the castle with a magnet wand held under the board. Guide it to the right rooms, scare the residents, and try not to bump into anything on the way. The box is really a collection, with a spook slalom and a handful of other challenges.

Who it's for

Families with children from around five who like dexterity games with a friendly spooky theme.

Not for you if…

You want strategy or a single substantial game. It is a collection of short challenges, and the magnet setup means fiddly setup and teardown.

Vibe's take

Fiddly in the best way, with a lot of held breath as the ghost wobbles past an obstacle.
