Read full descriptionHide full description
Hunt paranormal entities that have slipped through an inter-dimensional portal into your home, school or office using the latest in augmented reality ghost hunting gear! No heavy, and potentially dangerous, proton packs required! AR Ghost Hunt is good clean fun for all ages! It gets people out of their seat and onto their feet to aim at, and eliminate, pesky ghosts and to move around the room to find and grab the key needed to close that portal. No stream crossing necessary and not too scary to get the kids in on the action! Happy Hunting!
