In anticipation of Nintendo’s Luigi’s Mansion 3 release, the company hosted a one-of-a-kind preview party on Friday, October 18 in Los Angeles where guests had a chance to play the game and slam, blow away, and vacuum up ghosts and join forces with Gooigi, Luigi’s all-green doppelganger, who can do things that Luigi can’t, like slip through tight spaces and walk on spikes.
The Luigi’s Mansion 3 Preview party was held at the Carondelet House which was effectively transformed into the haunted hotel setting of the video game. Guests in attendance were invited to step through a spooky “elevator” that led into a Luigi-themed game zone equipped with dozens of screens and Nintendo Switch controllers for kids and adults alike to test their gaming skills on this latest game of the Luigi’s Mansion franchise.

“This is the coolest haunted house ever,” said Benjamin David, age six. “The game is a little bit hard but Gooigi will help you pass to the next level.”
The game’s objective is for Luigi to save his brother Mario & friends by getting through the haunted hotel’s seventeen floors. He can do so with the help of his Polterpup, Gooigi and his powerful vacuum-type weapon, the Poltergust G-00.
During Friday’s event, a photo backdrop activation in the venue’s backyard offered guests a chance to pose in front of ghosts carrying a life-sized Poltergust G-00.
