From BoardGameGeek

An Exciting Game Of Pursuit... From The Basement To The Attic! Children begin by arranging the rooms of the house, then advance their playing pieces by rolling the die. Each time a player rolls a 6, he or she draws a chance card, searches the house for the object pictured on the card, then moves ahead - or back! - to that spot. Because the house is rearranged before beginning play, the hidden objects will be in a different place each time! The first player to reach the attic window is the winner. Game Contents: Gameboard,16 Room Cards,20 Chance Cards,4 Playing Pieces,1 Die,Game Rules.
