The house in question is haunted by ghosts, spiders, and something that looks like a furry beach ball with eyes. The game ends if you get hit by monsters or ghouls more than nine times; needless to say that I died a lot when I played this game the first time.

The game ends if all of your frogs die, and the number of frogs that you have when you start depends on what difficulty setting you have the game on.
