Denys Fisher Haunted House

does anyone remember this board game, it had 4 rooms and you had to build pieces together first, sort of like mouse trap, then there was a object that went through the doors of each room and things would happen, sorry for being so vague but thats all i can remember, it was a 80s toy.

[bumblelady]

Ghost Castle was the later rebranded version of Haunted House (or Which Witch? in the US) Have a scan around Ebay. There must be a fair few 30-40 somethings who have fond memories of this game as a good condition one goes for a fair price nowadays.

I remember playing this - mid 70s but I never had a copy of my own

This great game has now been repackaged and re released - although not as vibrant looking as the classic original, but then I'm probably being a retro snob! I've still got mine in the loft and picked up another at a local boot fair - Ideal places for old game buffs

Haunted house was a kool game, didn't you drop a ball-bearing down the chimney and set off traps, theres a new Scooby Doo game that seems very similar to it out now.

I had "Which Witch" back in the 70's. Same concept.

[Oggy]

Not heard of that I think, unles it had something to with a large cauldron that you moved your pieces/counters about....?

[Wil]

Which Witch? is the same game as Haunted House, just a different name. Like Smess was the US version of Take The Brain
