You Didn’t Hear This From Me…But Something Happened at Hollow Lantern Inn

Now, I’m not saying I was snooping.

I’m simply saying that when the lights flicker, a glowing figure drifts up the stairs, and a hundred-year-old lantern suddenly goes missing, somebody needs to pay attention.

And apparently, that somebody is us.

The Haunting of Hollow Lantern Inn is a new Halloween mystery game where your guests don’t just sit around waiting for clues. They become the suspects—and let me tell you, every single one of them has something to hide.

Somebody at This Party Is Lying

The Hollow Lantern has burned inside the inn for one hundred Halloweens. Then, at exactly nine o’clock, the flame goes out.

Naturally, everyone starts whispering about ghosts.

But ghosts don’t leave muddy boot-prints.

Your guests will each step into character, mingle, swap stories, compare alibis, and quietly try to figure out who is telling the truth—and who is giving an answer that sounds just a little too rehearsed.

There’s Mabel Grimm, the nervous innkeeper jingling her iron keys. Corny Ashworth, the ghost-tour guide who owns nine capes but has never actually seen a ghost. Agatha Plum claims she chats with the spirit haunting the inn, while Wren Fairweather is busy filming everything.

And then there’s Rufus Marlow, who just happens to want the inn to fail so he can buy it.

Oh, I’m sure that’s completely innocent.

Then the Real Investigation Begins

Once everyone has questioned the suspects and gathered what they know, the group enters the online detective portal.

That’s where players analyze evidence, unlock clues, solve puzzles, and follow the trail toward the truth.

It’s part character mystery, part digital investigation, and part escape-room-style puzzle hunt—all wrapped inside one wonderfully spooky Halloween story.

No one is stuck sitting on the sidelines. The talkers get to interrogate everybody. The quiet detectives can study the clues. The dramatic guests finally have a reason to use that suspicious accent they’ve been practicing.

This is the mystery activity you need at your next party.

It gives everyone something to do, something to talk about, and somebody to accuse before the night is over.

Take a Look at the Suspects

The Haunting of Hollow Lantern Inn is the perfect Halloween addition for families and groups who want real mystery, eerie atmosphere, and plenty of suspicious behavior—without anything graphic or gory.

The full investigation is on and the suspects are already waiting inside the inn.

Get a sneak peek at all eight suspects.

Go ahead. Look them over.

Just remember: the person who seems the most innocent usually has the most interesting story.

The mystery is available now on Etsy, so I wouldn’t wait around too long.
