How to Play
Use /wb or /wraithbusters followed by a subcommand:
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/wb start |
Create a new game lobby in the haunted mansion |
/wb join |
Join the open lobby |
/wb ready |
Toggle ready in the lobby |
/wb leave |
Leave the current game |
One player starts a lobby, others join, everyone readies up, and the countdown begins automatically.
The Setup
Gather friends in a lobby, ready up, and the hunt begins. Most players are humans scattered through the mansion. One or more players become ghosts, invisible to the living and free to move through walls and secret passages. The mansion stays dark, tense, and full of locked doors between you and the final goal.
Playing as a Human
Your job is to work together, explore room by room, and push deeper into the mansion before time runs out or your team is picked off.
- Solve puzzles to earn keys and open the next door. Puzzles range from lighting candles in the right order, preparing offerings in the kitchen or laboratory, chasing mice for cheese in the garden, and more.
- Find keys hidden around each room and match them to the right locked doors.
- Reach the attic and use the exorcism table to banish the spirit. If you succeed, the humans win.
Stay alert. When a human falls, they are out for the rest of the round and can only watch from the shadows.
Playing as a Ghost
You cannot be seen by humans, but you are not helpless. Collect spirit energy floating through the mansion to fuel your powers, then strike from the darkness.
- Haunt objects around the mansion: hurl plates, ignite ghost fire, swing sword statues, unleash snapdragons, or send out bee swarms when a human is nearby.
- Phase through doors using ghost portals that only you can see and use.
- Hunt the living until no humans remain, or simply run out the clock.
If every human is eliminated or the timer hits zero, the ghosts win.
The Haunted Mansion
The included mansion is a full adventure map with many rooms to discover, including the study, kitchen, dining room, ballroom, garden, altar, laboratory, cellar, bedroom, library, and attic. Each area holds its own secrets, keys, and puzzles standing between the humans and victory.
After the Round
When a round ends, everyone sees who won and can jump straight into another match or head home. Win or lose, the mansion is ready for the next hunt.
