The objective of the game is that the player has to search for a ghost inside a picture, which is able to be magnified using the scroll wheel on the user's mouse. After a few seconds of zooming in and out using the magnifying function, a slideshow of zombies appear along with a loud scream. The word "meinzwilling" translates to ~~''mytwin''~~ in the German language.

Due to poor archiving and problems regarding the saved flash file on the [[Wayback Machine]], the game itself unfortunately does not function and is thus lost to time. However, there are videos scattered online (mainly [[YouTube]]) which show the game being played, at least one reaction video of this game exists as well~~, these~~ are the only known visual references of the game which have survived.
