Outsmart a possessed estate where every new room could lead to an untimely death. Scour the dark corners of each room to discover clues, lore, and other helpful items to craft thoughtful solutions, unlocking a series of atmospheric escape rooms. Avoid death by piecing together the tragic story behind the Riddlewood family legacy, and, whatever you do, do not bother the possessed doll Suzie. She’s been in timeout for years now (and she likes to bite).

Succumb to the mansion’s most sinister secrets, and learn meaningful lessons even in death. Emerge outside, resurrected by a group of friendly chanting monks in the yard, run up to the front door, and try again. Explore an intricately locked house from a fully-controllable 360° first-person perspective as it finds new, inventive ways to cater to your doom.

Meet a host of critters throughout the manor that call Riddlewood’s remnants home. Discover quirky dragons hiding in barrels, goofy egg-laying chickens, and more to unravel the house’s riddles before death comes. Deduce what happened to the family by stringing together loose notes, secret symbolism, and other fragmented memories scattered throughout the estate’s haunted hand-drawn hallways.

“We love jump scares, but we didn’t want to single anyone out,” said Asaf Geva, co-founder of Peanut Button. “We included an optional jump scare warning for players to use if desired, but we also didn’t want to rely on those sudden thrills to create the game’s atmosphere. We drew a lot of inspiration from shows like “Courage the Cowardly Dog“, so we hope players laugh as much as they scream,” said co-founder Eyal Geva.

“For Riddlewood Manor, we really wanted to bring back the nostalgic feeling of Saturday morning cartoons,” said Asaf Geva, co-founder of Peanut Button. “Creepy comedy fuels our eerie atmosphere. We crafted meaningful puzzles inspired by Rusty Lake and merged them
with the fun absurdity often found in shows like “Courage the Cowardly Dog”,” said Co-Founder Eyal Geva. “It’s the kind of comedy you need to turn the lights out for.”

The sinister secrets of the Riddlewood family legacy lie strewn throughout the halls of their haunted estate. However, there’s a bit of a problem: the house attempts to kill all who enter. Doors slam shut, chains rattle in the dark, and ghosts appear and disappear into thin air.
Beware the trailing giggles coming from the possessed doll Suzie, ringing out from locked rooms. But not all sounds imply imminent death — perhaps that poor, hungry specter just wants a bountiful breakfast instead?

You’ll need to survive an unpredictable series of comedy-fueled, atmospheric escape rooms brought to unlife in hand-drawn animation, all from a fully-controllable 360° first-person perspective. Analyze all angles and deduce thoughtful solutions to puzzles telling the story of what befell the Riddlewoods. Be wary not to let your gaze wander: jump scares lurk around every corner, with optional warnings available.

Discover the Riddlewood family’s forgotten fate with the help of found friends. Encounter eccentric dragons, egg-laying chickens, and other creatures nestled around the abandoned manor that can help brave adventurers escape the house unscathed. Make the wrong choice
with the right items and you may find yourself resurrected outside by a merry band of chanting monks.
