A gripping narrative mystery, Your House: A Hidden Truth plays out like an escape room inside the pages of a book. Tap boldface words in the text – such as “kitchen” and “study” – to move between rooms within a sprawling home, and examine illustrations to collect curious objects. As you decode eerie messages, the text on the page changes, revealing new paths to take and decisions to make!
What we love: The fiendishly clever puzzles. While inside the home’s library, decipher the numbers on the spines of books, punch a code into a portrait on the wall, and voilà – a secret staircase appears! It only gets trickier from there; a built-in guide can nudge you along if you get stuck.
Quick tip: To open the locker in the camera room, note the pattern on the jars on the shelf, then configure the key you found in the warehouse to match it. Take the night-vision goggles from the locker and use them in front of the blank wall in the warehouse to learn how to turn on the camera-room monitor.
Meet the creator: While crafting Your House, Barcelona-based studio Patrones & Escondites was inspired by the graphic novel Ghost World, the groundbreaking book House of Leaves and a real-world Manhattan apartment that was embedded with secret messages and hidden compartments.
