David and his friends dare him to enter and explore a reputedly haunted house. As David goes through the house and reaches the attic, the door slams behind him. To progress through the house, David must solve puzzles posed by ghosts in each room, such as unscrambling words or answering riddles. If he answers correctly, the ghosts will give him the key to the next room. David makes his way through attic, bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, and staircase, answering puzzles along the way until he reaches the top of the house.
