Five places to haunt
Haunted Hotel
Six rooms off one long corridor, and a Halloween party that never ended.
Barn & Cornfield
A corn maze that ends at a barn nobody uses any more.
Haunted House
A rotting Victorian house with too many rooms.
Asylum
Padded cells, rusted gurneys and lights that won't stay on.
Abandoned School
Empty classrooms and a hallway of lockers. Class is never dismissed.
More places, one at a time
Each expansion is a new location with its own props. Buy the ones you want, or all four in the Expansion Pack. They add to the full game.

Buy
Here or from the game's shop. Stripe handles the payment.
Get your key
It comes by email. One key holds everything you buy with that address. Keep it to yourself: it works on three devices.
Activate
Press Activate in the game. It shows a short code: enter it with your key at desertphoenixdesign.com/activate.
Play
The game unlocks and downloads what you bought. Later purchases show up by themselves.
Does one purchase cover Quest and PC?
Yes. Your key works on both, on up to three headsets and PCs. Replaced one? Free its place on the activate page.
Do I need to be online to play?
Only now and then. The game checks your purchases when it's online; offline, it keeps playing for 14 days since the last check, then asks you to connect once.
Can I get a refund?
Sales are final, so try the free demo first: it's the real game with the Haunted Hotel.
Do I need the full game for an expansion?
Yes. Expansions add locations to the full game; they don't play on their own or in the demo.
Can I share my haunts?
Online sharing is on its way, for the full game. Until then, and in the demo, haunts are saved on your device.
I lost my key.
The activate page can email it again to the address you bought with.
