About the game

In The Hunt Begins, you and up to four friends go to a haunted location to identify and eradicate a ghost. On arrival at the location, the game will select one of the players to control the ghost and protect their haunt. Hunt the Ghost: You and up to 3 friends must work together to locate the ghost players chosen haunted area. Use multiple tools to identify the type of ghost and use the correct method to banish them. Be careful though, the ghost does not like trespassers and if enraged will take lives. Hunt the Hunters: Your friends have come to purge your existence as you control ghosts that haunt various locations. Prevent them from finding your chosen haunted area and from figuring out how to destroy you. Use your abilities and interact with the maps to frighten your friends and get closer to hunting them down.
