The Game

You wake in a candlelit study. The door holds a keyhole and a four-digit keypad, and the room is quietly laughing at you. Find the keys. Read the clues. Crack the codes — then do it seven more times, in rooms that only get crueler.

Every run is re-randomized: PIN codes, key hiding spots, color sequences, lever patterns and dial symbols reshuffle each time, so a fast time is earned, never memorized. Atmospheric 3D with dynamic shadows, flickering lamps, drifting dust — and an optional enhanced-shader mode with bloom and film grain for capable machines. A live jazz trio plays the whole way through.

The Eight Rooms

IThe StudyA gentle introduction. A hidden key, a keypad, four scattered clues.
IIThe CellarThe key sleeps beneath the lantern's gaze. The chalkboards make you do math.
IIIThe VaultA loose tile, a hollow wall that wants three knocks, and tiles in mean places.
IVThe LaboratoryThe code is the room: count the glowing jars, the flasks, the candles, the crates.
VThe ClocktowerFour small clocks tell the code. Still the pendulum. Turn the wheel thrice.
VIThe SanctumSnuff every flame. Turn the spire until it shows its hollow. Six locks deep.
VIIThe ObservatoryAlign the wandering spheres. The fourth clue is written on the moon.
VIIIThe CryptEight locks. Wake the keeper with three tolls. Some hollows must simply be braved.

Play Together

Co-op rooms

Create a room as public — it appears in the lobby for anyone to join — or private, hidden behind a five-character code like K7XQ2 that you share with friends. Pick any username; names aren't claimed or locked, so play under whatever you like.

One room, one clock

Everyone drops into the identical randomized layout and shares progress live: when a teammate cracks the keypad, your lock turns green too. Split up, hunt clues, call out codes. One shared timer for the whole party — and one leaderboard recording the fastest full escapes.

How to Play

Desktop — click to look around, WASD or arrow keys to move, Shift to run, E or click to interact, ESC to pause.

Mobile — a floating joystick on the left, drag the right side to look, tap USE when it glows. Turn touch controls on in Settings if they don't appear automatically.

Stuck? — every lock has a clue in the room. Read the notes. Count things. Look up.
