What it feels like
For three hundred years, they say, the Grey Lady has walked the upstairs corridor of the Hollow Inn at midnight. Humming. Leaving the smell of lavender behind her. And at the end of the corridor... she walks straight into the wall. Tonight the inn is full, and everyone's waiting for her. The question isn't whether she'll come. It's who she really is.
How to play
- The story comes in four parts. Each is read out loud by someone different — everyone else just listens.
- Between parts, the screen gives the table something to argue about. Every clue you need is in the story.
- At the end, everyone accuses in private: who has been playing the ghost, and how she vanishes.
- Then the solution is read out, with every clue and where it was hiding.
Scoring: 3 points for naming the ghost, 2 for saying how she vanishes.
What you need
3 to 10 people and one phone, tablet or laptop to pass around — or everyone on their own phone in a room. Nothing to download, no accounts. The best lines can be sealed into your group's Almanac and come back in later games.
