All the answers

A brand of games that turn the players' own home into the escape room: an app with a voice on the phone, free printable kits and an escape book. The stories belong to the Archive of Houses, an imaginary office in Valdinievole that since 1961 has catalogued the houses where «something stayed behind».

Escape Your House is a project by Aliosha Battaglini, started in Valdinievole (Tuscany) in August 2026. Contact: info@escapeyourhouse.com.

The app's cases and the book are in Italian for now. The printable kits are being translated one at a time: each card says whether the PDF is already in English. For translated app cases there's a waiting list on the case files page.

Open www.escapeyourhouse.com/gioca/ on your phone, choose a level and a mode (solo, as a couple, as a group, as a family) and answer the call: a voice guides the challenges, which use the rooms and objects in your home.

The prologue “The first call”: free, nine minutes, ages 8+, 1 to 6 players. The six case files (The Marchetti Case, The Whispering House, The Signal, Christmas Eve, The Inheritance, The Heist) are on the way, one at a time.

The planned price is one key, €2.99, for the whole group and with all levels. Nothing is on sale today: you can join the list on the case files page.

No: you play in your phone's browser, with no sign-up. Your progress stays on your phone.

Four ready-made cases: «Who stole the candles?» (birthday, ages 8-12), «The night of the doors» (Halloween, ages 14+), «Three knocks at the kitchen door» (murder mystery dinner, adults), «The midnight note» (an evening for two). Plus a DIY kit with blank templates. And a free kit to try: «The entrance test» (as a family or among friends, ages 10+).
