4. Escape from Spooky Street

You’re trapped on Spooky Street, the scariest, most haunted street you’ve ever heard of!

Not only that, but a rude ghost has turned you into a pumpkin! DANG! That sucks.

3. Escape: Ghost Treasure Mansion
Your rich, puzzle-obsessed uncle has died. He’s left you, his favorite relative, two things — a ouija board and a key to his palatial, haunted-looking mansion, with the promise of treasure inside. Naturally, you head over to claim your inheritance. But could this haunted-looking mansion be … haunted? By ghosts?
