Mystery Agency: Ghost In The Attic

Ghost in the Attic by The Mystery Agency is an award-winning escape-room puzzle designed to be played at home. Themed around a haunted board game from the 1950s, this gripping challenge will test your powers of deduction and logic as you unravel a mind-bending sequence of clues. Your mission: crack combination locks, piece together vital information, and ultimately banish the ghost haunting the attic.

But it won’t be easy—the box itself is chained and padlocked, and you’ll need to figure out the combination just to get started!

This is one of three thrilling mystery puzzles from The Mystery Agency, and it has already won the Best Innovator award at the @etroomers Bullseye Awards 2021. The mastermind behind these puzzles is Olivier award-winner Henry Lewis, known for the West End and Broadway hit The Play That Goes Wrong, and star of ITV’s riddle-based quiz show Riddiculous.

To solve Ghost in the Attic, you'll embark on an investigation that involves poring over the many pieces of evidence provided in the box and uncovering secret websites that hide crucial clues. The set includes over 25 beautifully designed, tactile pieces, including the playable haunted board game itself, immersing you fully into the eerie mystery.

The puzzle typically takes around 60 minutes to solve, but the challenge could easily last longer. If you find yourself stuck, tiered hints are available online to help you progress.

Play solo or make it a reason to invite friends over for a themed mystery party. Once you've solved Ghost in the Attic, you can repack it and pass it on to someone else, challenging them to beat your time!
