5 – ‘The Haunted Mansion Happy Hunt’ Now Available on the Disney Treasure and Coming Soon to the Disney Destiny

Welcome aboard, Foolish Mortals! The Haunted Mansion Happy Hunt is a new way for guests to have fun with their DisneyBand+ — now available on the Disney Treasure and coming soon to the Disney Destiny. The Haunted Mansion Happy Hunt is a scavenger hunt-style experience that introduces a new interactive opportunity for Disney Cruise Line guests using DisneyBand+. The Haunted Mansion Happy Hunt is a heads up, enjoyable, and immersive game that blends real-world props and onboard digital signage.

Ghosts have escaped from The Haunted Mansion Parlor! Madame Leota needs guests’ help to decrypt the clue, find the haunted object, summon the hidden spirit, and return the ghost. Guests will use their DisneyBand+ to capture the 13 ghosts that are hiding around the ship. A DisneyBand+ is required; Oceaneer bands cannot be used to play The Haunted Mansion Happy Hunt.

After the guest has successfully captured their final ghost, they can return to any digital sign around the ship to materialize the ghost and complete the game.
