What it is, in one sentence
It's an escape room where the place you have to get out of, and search, is your own home. In paid venues you walk into a themed room; at home the puzzles use the doors, the bathroom mirror, the kitchen drawers, the beam of a torch. You play in the evening, without going anywhere, with whoever you like.
How it works
- A story opens the game. With Escape Your House it's a case file from the Archive of Houses: a house where «something stayed behind».
- The puzzles are linked. The answer to one leads to the next: a place in the house, a word, a number.
- Someone checks the answers. In the app it's the voice on the phone; in the kits it's the Keeper, whoever organises; in the book it's the Register of keys.
- The hints come in steps. First a clue, then a clearer one, then the solution explained: nobody stays stuck.

How to choose
- You want to play tonight, with nothing to prepare: the app. The prologue “The first call” is free, lasts nine minutes and is in Italian.
- You're organising a party or an evening: a kit. Birthday, ages 8-12, Halloween, ages 14+, murder mystery dinner for adults, an evening for two.
- You want a long experience, over several evenings: the book «Non uscire di casa» (“Don't Leave the House”), twelve rooms and three endings.
- You want to invent it yourselves: the complete guide and the DIY kit.
Safety rules
They apply to all our games: never real flames (candles are LED or digital), never climb on chairs or ladders, never water near sockets, never leave the house at night. Clues are hidden at hand height, never in the oven, the washing machine or near the hob.
