🏰 Meet Lord Impercunious...

For generations, Hallow Hall has belonged to the Impercunious family.

But grand old houses don't maintain themselves.

With bills mounting and the future of the estate hanging in the balance, Lord Impercunious has made the difficult decision to open Hallow Hall as a luxury hotel.

Unfortunately...

Not everyone seems happy about the changes.

Since the first guests arrived, strange sightings, mysterious noises and unexplained events have driven visitors away.

Lord Impercunious insists someone is trying to ruin his family's future.

But is he telling the truth?

Or could the owner of Hallow Hall have a reason to keep everyone believing the Hall is haunted?

🕵️ On Wednesday 19th August at 11:00am, it's up to you and your family to uncover the truth in The Haunting of Hallow Hall.

Search for clues, question the characters and decide who you can trust.
