PLAYED FOR YOU

Geisterjagd

Mit Hightech gegen Gespenster

Ghost hunting with a difference! Modern ghosts do no longer sneak along dark, moldy dungeon corridors or hover over crenellated castle towers; they are projected instead on the wall by modern technology. The room you want to play in must be darkened and Johnny Skeletti, the gruesome skeleton head, is switched on and you choose one of three possible difficulty levels: easy, middle and hard. Players in turn pick up the laser pistol and try to hit as many of the specters as possible, while trying to be further away from the ghosts than 2, 5 m. You must synchronize the pistol with Johnny Skeletti – the rules explain very clearly how to do so – and then you receive a starting signal and start hunting for ghosts. Johnny Skeletti gives off different sounds during the chase, depending on whether you did hit a ghost or not. Fast reactions and fast actions are necessary, because Johnny Skeletti turns and the ghosts appear on ever-changing spots in the dark room turned ghostly castle. Your turn gives you 90 seconds and the pistol counts successful hits. Before handing on the pistol to the next player you must start the game again by choosing the level of difficulty and the synchronization of pistol and skeleton head.

As children usually love ghosts, Geisterjagd can serve as a fun and well-working training for speed of reactions; but as they also have a vivid imagination an adult should be at hand if someone suddenly is frightened by the ghosts on the wall or the dark room suddenly is too much in combination with the ghosts. Adults, too, have been seen having fun chasing ghosts flittering across the walls!
