Choose Your Quest: Escape the House of Horrors: An Interactive Escape Room Puzzle Book

You wake with your wrists bound, your head pounding, and no memory of how you got here.

The door is locked. The windows are painted over. And somewhere below you, a voice is calling you "my sweet lamb."

You have one way out. You just have to choose it correctly. Every single time.

Escape the House of Horrors is not a story you read. It is a story you survive.

Written entirely in second person, this interactive gamebook puts YOU inside a decaying mansion built by a man who collects visitors and never lets them leave. Every few pages, the story stops and hands you a decision. The webbed door or the crawlspace. The clockwork puzzle or the wall of patterns. The flamethrower or the gas mask — you can only carry two, and the wrong pair will cost you everything.

Solve the locks. Read the walls. Find the files that name every person who came before you.

Then get out before the Master finds you first.
