I’m remaking the ghost minigame from Nintendo Land. (Nothing is public just yet.)

I’ve called it “Ghost Game” during early development because it’s simple and I like the alliteration, but there’s already two games on Steam with very similar names.

I’m currently considering these names:

  • Ghost Game (just use it even though other games have similar names)
  • Ghost Mansion
  • Spectre Mansion
  • Haunting Hijinks

I’d love to hear feedback on these names and get ideas for other names I should consider. Thanks!

“Hijinks” makes me think of exactly the kind of casual mess-with-your-friends gameplay that can happen with Nintendo games. I like it.

As a side note, I’m curious to see how the game turns out. Nintendo Land was the only game I’ve played on the Wii U that made proper use of the game pad, and the ghost mansion was my favorite minigame.

Since you might want to know, Haunting Hijinx launches in two weeks! It’s free and open-source.

Yay! It looks awesome! I’m going to get my friend to play it with me as soon as it goes live

@Zibetnu@programming.dev my vote goes for Hijinks too! Makes me think of “Heebee-jeebees” 👍
