Haunted House

Haunted House is an escape flash game that was developed by KMart and released on October 20, 2006.
Although Flash was discontinued on January 12 2021, Haunted House is still playable through BlueMaxima’s Flashpoint.
=== Information ===
As can be inferred from the title, Haunted House is a Halloween themed escape game, though it is not particularly scary due to the child friendly art style and lack of jump scares, etc. The game was developed by KMart and features links to their website to buy Halloween costumes of various characters that are found in the game.
=== Gameplay ===
After choosing their character’s Halloween costume, the player begins the game at the front door of the house, which has locked behind them and the main objective of the game is to solve various puzzles and complete various tasks around the house in order to obtain this front door key and escape.
The player moves through the house room to room and will encounter some locked doors along the way that require keys or skull lanterns to be unlocked. The shape and colour of the locks will help the player identify which key they need to obtain which is helpful as the player can carry up to four items in their inventory at once.
In the bottom left corner of the screen, the player’s ‘energy’ meter is displayed. This is essentially a health meter and this can go down if the player touches roaming ghosts in the house, hands coming through the floor or is hit by a projectile from a trap, etc. The player’s health can be resorted by walking over pieces of candy on the floor that have a red heart icon on them.
=== Controls ===
The four arrow keys are used to move up, down, left and right and the space bar is used to pick up items when standing near them and place them on surfaces.
