Nintendo’s description states that players must collect the scattered shards of the Dark Moon, which can be found in several haunted mansions. Each mansion presents its own unique puzzles and ghosts to capture. To aid in the ghost-hunting process, players can use the Poltergust 5000, a powerful tool that can suck up ghosts and even window curtains. By blowing air, players can thoroughly explore every corner of these eerie yet enchanting mansions.

In Evershade Valley, a maximum of four players can team up either in-person or through online play to capture ghosts and assist Luigi in his mission to save the day.
