Skill Levels – Warning: Do not read if you want to figure out Return To Haunted
House
(TM) for yourself!
Choose the Skill Level you wish to play by depressing the GAME SELECT switch. To begin play,
depress the GAME RESET switch.
If you are killed by one of the ghosts, you can use the powerful force known only as reset. Just depress
the game reset switch and your life force will be returned to you and you will materialize back on the first
floor of the haunted house. Unfortunately, any ghosts you may have banished will also return to haunt the
mansion. If you were carrying any object with you, it will remain where it was.
If you have finished one game and wish to begin another, depress either the game reset or the game
select switch. The number of the skill level at which you were playing will appear on the television screen.
Depress the game reset switch and begin play.
Level 1 Floor Plan
This is the simplest Skill Level. When you depress the GAME RESET switch to begin play, you will
be on the first floor and see the shovel that you can use to dig up the grave in the cemetery. Travel
northward and west to find the Sub Basement and the Cemetery. Dig up the grave with the shovel and
enter. You will find the scepter inside the crypt, but it is not immediately reachable. Travel westward to the
tunnels under the house. Beware of ghosts haunting the house. You will need the ladder to retrieve the
scepter. The key to the dark cavern under the house may be guarded in the tunnels by a ghost. Other ghosts
are doomed to float about, haunting the mansion or guarding the cursed skull, which is hidden with the
dismembered hand inside the dark cavern past the tunnels.

The game begins in a previously unexplored portion of the first floor. As you progress through the
house, all new areas lead downward.

must rely on your own light source to traverse this area. Finding your way westward and down takes you

door are stairs leading down to...
