🔦 Free Halloween Spelling Game: Haunted Manor Ghost Hunt
Step inside the dark, creaky manor! Friendly phantoms are floating through the rooms, but they have scrambled their spelling patterns. Grab your flashlight, listen carefully to the spoken clues, and trap the phantoms carrying the correct letters to collect all five golden skeleton keys and open the Haunted Candy Vault.
🎮 How to Play:
- Select Your Grade Level: Choose from three targeted difficulty tiers: Grades 1–2 (vowels, digraphs, and blends), Grades 3–4 (vowel teams and silent letters), or Grades 5–6 (tricky spelling demons).
- Listen to the Audio: Tap the speaker button (🔊) anytime to replay the pronunciation of the mystery word.
- Search with the Flashlight: Move your torch across the darkened chamber to read the letter scrolls held by the floating ghosts.
- Capture the Correct Pattern: Click or tap the ghost displaying the correct missing spelling pattern to trap it in your jar.
- Collect 5 Skeleton Keys: Clear all five unique manor rooms (Foyer, Library, Potion Parlour, Cellar, and Attic) to unlock the candy vault!
