Description
USER SUMMARY:
In this light-hearted but not always lightly animated Disney title, you are exploring Disney's famed Haunted Mansion, absorbing ghosts into your lantern by solving various puzzles in each rooms. Most of the puzzles are of the "hit some hidden switches, possibly in the correct order" variety.
The puzzles are not very difficult, but there's enough jumping and ghost-dodging to make them more than trivial. As you explore the mansion and gather souls, more rooms open up for you to explore. Some of the areas have new mechanics, and a few touches of detail (such as the singing busts) make the game a homage to Disney's famed attraction.

Quotes (from this video)

- These are games that don't get talked about as much.
- it really is a very simple game from Prospero Hall.
- This is kind of one of those games I wish I had played back in the day.
- This is one of the best fillers out there where you have a bunch of swimmers out there.

- It is so complex.
- Of all the games I talked about today, I actually I think Lynx City I like Asking for Trouble's a lot, but Lynx City is my favorite.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Action Points — On a player's turn, they have three actions which can be used to move, pick up a ghost card, or rotate the room.
- card drafting (implicit) — While not a direct card draft, the game involves taking cards from the board, with one player noting it's like drafting on the board rather than direct card drafting.
- Dueling — Players can duel each other to try and steal a card that another player possesses.
- Haunt Mechanic — Players draw 'haunt cards' if they are too close to certain ghosts. The player with the highest value on their haunt cards at the end of the game loses their biggest set of ghosts.
- Rotating board — The game features a central rotating portion of the board, described as the 'endless hallway,' which players can rotate as part of their actions.
- Set Collection — Players aim to collect good sets of ghosts, with different scoring mechanisms based on the type of set (e.g., scoring points equal to the number of ghosts squared, pairs, or individual card values).

Quotes (from this video)
- One of my favorite Disney ride is a board game, The Haunted Mansion, coming up.
- The Haunted Mansion is uh literally it's not my most favorite, it's one of my favorite ride in Disneyland Disney parks because it's not like that scary one of those scary roller coaster which I can't stand.
