These come in a whole range

of ectoplasmic flavors and

provide most of

Grabbed by

the Ghoulies

’ frantic in-game

action. Variety is key here,

as Challenges can involve

achieving something within

a time limit, taking out your

frustrations on the background scenery while

in search of a hidden key, or simply surviving

in the face of overwhelming odds.

Challenges don’t automatically happen every

time you visit a room, but you’ll know it when

they do. A Challenge begins when an exit

door suddenly becomes a Challenge door. The

Challenge requirements appear on-screen, and

Cooper has no way out until the requirements

are fulfi lled. Beat the Challenge and the door

opens; suffer a Faint and you’ll have to learn

quickly from your experience in time for the

next attempt!

Break a rule or exceed the time limit and the

Grim Reaper Ghouly appears, a truly alarming

foe who can induce Fainting with a single

touch. Cooper can persist at a Challenge even

with the Grim Reaper hot on his heels, but it

certainly won’t be easy.

There are several sets of Challenge criteria,

which are combined and shaken up later in the

game to create increasingly wild situations.
