Freeze Ghost Tag game guide
Goal of the game
In Freeze Ghost Tag you play with your face and head movements. Ghosts float toward the lantern keeper. While your HEAD MOVES they rush in fast and glow red. HOLD YOUR HEAD STILL and they freeze into icy blue — then BLINK to zap the closest frozen ghost with lightning.
Move your nose onto power-ups to grab them (but the ghosts will rush! ). Blast clears the screen, Freeze stops everything, Heart gives a life.

Tips and strategy
- Don't chase every pickup in Freeze Ghost Tag — grab only the ones on your safe path.

- Save your focus for the moment a Freeze or Slow-Mo starts — that is when Freeze Ghost Tag gives you free points.
- Good, even lighting from the front makes tracking in Freeze Ghost Tag far more reliable than a bright window behind you.
