It's a terrain-building game of exploring and looting a haunted house...until SOMETHING notices, and the Haunt breaks loose... Exactly what horror/challenge happens in the second half depends on which omen triggered the Haunt in which newly-discovered room.  Playtime can be anything from about 30 to 90 minutes, usually c. 45-60. Multiple games are possible; it rarely plays anything even close to the same twice in a row.
I won't be able to join in play myself until after the Door intake drops off at 9:00, but the game will be on hand and available from the time I arrive.
