De griezelbus 1 is a "horror" adventure game based on books of Dutch author Paul van Loon. The game is aimed at children, as are the books. In the game, players are challenged by storyteller P. Onnoval to travel with him on the 'griezelbus'. During the trip, they will encounter nine scary situations from the books. These consist of mini-games the player has to beat e.g. find hidden objects, control a zombie-like creature through a maze, build a skeleton from bones.

Only if players overcome their fears they will be able to save the lives of their classmates. Paul van Loon is available during the game to provide hints. [source:mobygames]
