Casper's Scare School

About

Casper's Scare School casts you as the friendly ghost trying to fit in at a spooky classroom. You'll team up with Thatch the Vampire, Mantha the Zombie, and Ra the Mummy as you complete 24 lessons split across Science, History, and Gym. The Nintendo DS touchscreen lets you interact directly with the world solving puzzles and navigating challenges. Each subject brings new mini games that mix spooky fun with light educational elements. Casper needs to boost his grades to graduate and prove he belongs at the school. The game leans heavily into its film roots with recognizable characters and audio clips from the movie. The PS2 and DS versions focus on simple controls and family-friendly antics. While the platforming and puzzle design feels dated by modern standards, the game still holds a 70% on Metacritic and a cult following among fans of classic spooky kids' media. The DS version in particular is praised for adapting its controls well to the handheld format.
