Ghost Lantern

Explore the darkness. Guide your lantern with the mouse, collect friendly ghosts, and avoid the spirits lurking in the shadows.

Ghost Lantern

Venture into a pitch-black graveyard armed with only your lantern. Friendly ghosts drift through the shadows — find them with your light and guide them home for points. But beware: evil spirits hunt by sound and glow, and they are always watching from the dark.

Game Objective

Collect all friendly ghosts in each wave before moving on. Each ghost is worth more points as waves get harder. Grab candle pickups to extend your lantern's reach. Survive as many waves as you can without losing all three lives.

How to Play
  • • Move with WASD or arrow keys
  • • Aim your lantern with the mouse (or touch on mobile)
  • • Only ghosts caught in your light can be collected
  • • Approach lit friendly ghosts to collect them
  • • Evil spirits reveal glowing red eyes — stay out of reach
  • • Pick up candles to supercharge your lantern temporarily
Tips and Strategies
  • • Sweep your lantern in wide arcs to scout the map quickly
  • • Evil spirits sense you better when they are partially lit — sometimes darkness is safer
  • • Save candle pickups for later waves when the map is crowded
  • • Keep moving — standing still makes you an easy target for spirits

About this game

The graveyard is pitch black. Your lantern is the only thing between you and the shadows. Sweep your light across the map to reveal friendly ghosts drifting through the mist — move close while they are lit to collect them.

Evil spirits lurk at the edges. You will see their glowing red eyes even in the dark, and they chase you when you get too close. Grab candle pickups to extend your light radius and survive deeper waves.

Free to play in the browser. No download, no signup.
