Gumball Class Spirits

Sneak through Elmore Junior High and vacuum up every glowing menace before the bell rings—Gumball's ghost hunt gets weird fast.

Class Spirits drops you into Gumball's shoes during one of those after-school detentions that goes sideways. The school is crawling with ghostly troublemakers, and your job is to clear each room. You move Gumball around with the mouse, spot a flicker of ectoplasm hiding behind a desk, and zap or trap it. The first few specters are almost cute—one just floats around the chemistry lab knocking over beakers. But then they start splitting or speeding up, and suddenly you're chasing three at once while trying not to click on the wrong thing. I kept losing track of a sneaky green one that liked to hide behind the gym bleachers. What makes it stick is the pacing. Each level feels like a tiny puzzle wrapped in a cartoon chase. Some ghosts only appear when you shine your light at the right spot, others need to be cornered before they phase through walls. The Elmore art style is spot-on—Darwin pops in to point at things, and the background gags are worth a second look. It's not a long game, but it's the kind of thing you can knock out in a lunch break and still feel like you did something. One tip: don't waste your trap on the first ghost you see. Wait until two or three cluster together and you can catch them in one go. And keep an eye on the clock—some rooms have a hidden time bonus if you finish before the bell rings, which adds a nice rush without making it stressful. For a browser game with a cartoon license, it actually respects your time. My only real gripe is that the later rooms lean on the same hide-and-zap loop a bit too hard, but the difficulty keeps you from coasting.

Help Gumball round-up evil specters in Class Spirits.

Corner fast specters against a wall rather than chasing them across open rooms—they lose their phasing edge. Let two or three ghosts cluster before using a trap; multi-catches refill your energy faster. Tap your flashlight on every locker and desk, not just the obvious glowing spots. Ignore the first slow ghost you see and scout the room layout first, so you know where the exits are. Move continuously in figure-eights around desks; stopping makes you an easy target for red specters.
