Summary:

Step inside Cryptic House … if you dare.

In this spine-tingling puzzle book, readers must solve 70 sinister challenges to uncover the secrets lurking in every shadowy corner and escape this haunted mansion. From cryptic clues and coded messages to hidden symbols and logic-based conundrums, each puzzle brings you closer to survival – or deeper into the house’s outstretched claws.

Blending classic horror tropes with modern psychological frights, the story of The Haunting of Cryptic House invites you into shifting corridors, full of whispered warnings and unsettling discoveries.

Fans of horror and all things creepy will love this interactive experience that combines suspense, scares and brainteasers.
