Spirit Speak

Game overview

A séance went wrong, and the old mansion kept you. You and your friends wake as spirits in its halls, drifting through rooms no living guest has walked in years. Somewhere among the paintings and the antiques a key still knows the way to the door, and you have one hour to find it before the veil closes for good.

The house does not let anyone leave alone. Your group starts scattered across the mansion, and the thing one of you is staring at is often the thing another needs to make sense of. Hunt spirit notes behind the paintings, guide a teammate through a marble maze they cannot see, and play the melody right to open the way out. Most of the hour goes into talking: reading out what you see and working out together what it means.
