Description

Fall River, Mass. 1927: Elizabeth “Lizzie” Andrew Borden, the main suspect in the August 4, 1892, ax murders of her father and stepmother, has died of natural causes. She has left a faded letter to the four people who can finally solve the crime. One player takes the role of Lizzie Borden. The remaining take the roles of City Marshal, Judge, Neighbor, and News Reporter, called the “Seekers.” The Seekers move room to room while picking up 19th century equipment used for paranormal exploring. They attempt to capture Lizzie’s ghost as it travels the scene of the crime: the Borden home.

The game board is a map of the first and second floors, back and front yards of the Borden home, Massachusetts, circa late 1800s. Each room and noted areas is a “Hot Spot,” or haunting.
Seekers gather equipment for capturing Lizzie’s ghost moving room to room only by using marked doorways. Lizzie moves in secret using the "Hot Spot" location cards. By various means, the Seekers attempt to deduce and uncover Lizzie’s location.
A roll of the dice, a turn of a card, a decision to "seek" or "hover"- will a Seeker catch Lizzie's ghost and force her to admit her guilt? Or will she escape by haunting five hot spots without being found?
