The Hunt Begins

The Hunt Begins is a 1 vs 4 ghost-hunting game. One player is randomly chosen to control the ghost, while the other players work together to find it, identify its type and banish it. Hunters must locate the ghost’s chosen haunted area and use the correct method to destroy it; an enraged ghost can take lives.

Hunt or haunt

As a hunter, you use identification tools to work out what kind of ghost you face. As the ghost, you protect your chosen haunted area, use your abilities and interact with the map to frighten the hunters and hunt them down. Matches bring the two sides into direct competition across haunted locations.

Ravencrest

The first playable region in the base game is the town of Ravencrest. Explore it to uncover its dark secrets and learn why its residents abandoned the growing trade town in the 1950s. The region also includes access to its related future content and expansions.

Maps and equipment

At launch, the game has three maps, five core identification tools for hunters, and a limited pool of ghost abilities. Hunters have no optional equipment during the initial launch period. Optional equipment is intended to include tools that can blind or slow the ghost, alongside enhanced tools. Maps may receive expansions that open additional randomized areas for exploration and replayability, and may also allow groups to adjust difficulty.
