The minigame takes place in a first-person perspective from the two players. The two players use lanterns to see in the dark. Then, they need to find three of the eleven enemies: [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Goomba]], [[Amp]], [[Red Boo]], [[Flutter]], [[Whomp]], [[Thwomp]], [[Piranha Plant]], [[Podoboo]] and [[Penguin]]. These enemies are hidden in objects such as pictures, vases, the piano and the table. The first to find three foes wins. In some places are hidden [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion)|Ghost]]s that paralyze the character for a short time.
The minigame takes place in a first-person perspective from the two players. The two players use flashlights to see in the dark and need to find three of the eleven enemies: [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Goomba]], [[Amp]], [[Red Boo]], [[Flutter]], [[Fly Guy]], [[Whomp]], [[Thwomp]], [[Piranha Plant]], [[Lava Bubble]], and [[penguin]]. When the minigame starts, the game randomly chooses about five to six of said enemies. Each enemy has a designated spot in the house, but when checking furniture, the player may find hidden [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghost]]s that startle and stun the character for a short time. Ghosts are found only when a player checks sheets on pedestals, vases, and paintings. The first player to find three foes wins. If neither player finds three enemies within five minutes, the minigame ends in a tie.
 
The enemies are hidden in objects such as pictures, vases, the piano, and the table. Some pieces of furniture even hint at containing an enemy. For example, the painting a Red Boo can be found in depicts a moving image of said enemy if it is hidden within the painting.
