CAST
👻 Meet the Characters of Ghostly Manor 👻
Mr. & Mrs. Grimes – The loyal butler and housekeeper of the Ghostly family welcome you to the manor, share its mysterious history, and ask for your help in solving the mystery that haunts the halls. They’ll even give you a bucket to collect your clues!
Nanny Lenora – A spirit in the crystal ball who communicates from beyond. As an overly expressive medium and amateur tarot reader, Nanny can guide you toward your next clue.
Mulch & Prune – The manor’s groundskeeper and his young apprentice keep the flowers and Halloween Trees alive — with a little help from you!
Great-Great-Great-Great Grand Mummy – A goofy, magical ancient mummy (or perhaps a wizard!) who loves a good gamble. They’ll perform one of Tuesday’s favorite magic tricks and give you another clue.
Uncle Lester / Aunt Hester – The kookiest of the Ghostly clan! They’re convinced they know the secret behind the manor’s mystery — and might just share it with you.
Lily & Morton Ghostly – Tuesday’s parents, still madly in love and madly dancing to forget their woes. They’ll teach you the family’s favorite dance, the Tarantella!
Patrick & Prissy Porter – The manor’s cheerful bellhop who takes guests to the wrong floors — and through a few silly scenes — before finally delivering them to the attic, where you meet Dusty, to solve the mystery.
Dusty Ghostly – Tuesday’s older sibling, found tidying up the attic and reminiscing over family keepsakes. Together, you’ll discover what’s been making Tuesday so sad.
Tuesday Ghostly – The manor’s most sorrowful haunter, reading quietly with her little skeleton dog, Spider. She’ll be thrilled to see you — and the special clue you’ve found for her! As thanks, you’ll receive a book, toy or treat before heading on your way.
Gertrude / Gordon the Gravedigger – The caretaker of the family cemetery and the only living soul at Ghostly Manor. They’ll be waiting at the end of your adventure to thank you — and snap your photo to remember your hauntingly fun visit!
🎃 Explore. Discover. Solve the mystery. – And make the Ghostly Family smile again!
