In the ruins of an ancient castle, a thrilling race awaits the bravest players. A ghost resides at the top of the stairs, and a group of daring children is racing up as quietly as possible – everyone wants to be the first to shout "BOO!" and scare the ghost away. But the ghost knows this timeless game and uses its magic to transform the players into ghosts one by one!

Spooky Stairs is a delightful board game for kids aged 4 and up, blending strategy, memory, and a dash of luck. Each turn, players roll an enchanted die to see how quickly they can climb the stairs. But if a player rolls the ghost symbol, they can place a ghost figure over another player’s pawn. The ghost figure magnetically attaches, hiding the player’s pawn and transforming them into a ghost!
Once all players are transformed into ghosts, the game becomes a test of memory as players must recall which ghost figure hides their pawn. If the die shows the ghost symbol again, players can swap ghost figures, adding to the chaos. The first player to reach the top of the stairs and surprise the ghost wins this exciting and entertaining race!
