Headed “The Curse of Milbury Hall”, with “Cranbury Manor” written in above it, so the game was renamed. The rooms are numbered from 0, the front door where the game opens, through a garden, a mill and two tunnels to the attic, and each one is crossed through. The key covers the flagstone, the logs, a rodent, a safe and a demon.
