In the game, the player's character moves across a flat plane, entering different rooms. This requires players to move a physical character token in the real world. Players simulate the in-game character's movements by moving and rotating this token in a space that resembles the game environment, allowing the character to enter different rooms and scan for the young people inside.

Once the players spot their targets, they can hear the conversations of these young people, which appear on the right side of the game screen. These conversations hint at what the young people are afraid of. Players must then perform corresponding actions to scare them, such as covering their hands over the light bulb corresponding to that room in the real world to cause flickering lights in the game, moving their hands close to a distance sensor to simulate a ghost's touch, or screaming into a sound sensor to mimic a ghostly scream. If the actions are correct, these NPCs will be scared away. If incorrect, the players will be mocked by them.

Players need to drive all of them away before they completely destroy the house.
