Haunted House Game Research Project

Welcome to the Haunted House game! 👻

In this text-based game, you are trapped in a house with an evil ghost. The exit door is locked. You have to find the key, unlock the door, and leave the house under 20 moves. Please read the following instructions carefully!

Here’s the information that you have:

• The house is a 3x3 grid with 9 rooms in total.
• You do not know which room you are currently in.
• The locked exit door is in your starting room.
• You must avoid the ghost - if you enter the same room, the game ends.

Movement:

• You can move one room at a time.
• You cannot move diagonally.
• To move, simply type the direction you want to go (left, right, up, down).

Clues:

• When you enter a new room, you will receive a verbal clue.
• If the clue says “The key is nearby”, it means that your next move can lead to the room with the key.
• If the clue says “The ghost is nearby”, it means that your next move can lead to the room with the ghost.
• There are many other verbal clues so pay close attention to them!

To start the game, type the first direction you want to move.
