About
Welcome! We hope you enjoy your stay at Riddlewood Manor, provided the estate doesn’t kill you first. Survive a deadly series of eerie escape rooms in this lovely resort where fear meets farce. Disturb the spirits within to unearth the absurd lore behind the Riddlewood family, and — oh, just a small precaution, please refrain from summoning any demonic entities if you see a doll around. That’s Suzie. She cannot be trusted.

The Riddlewood Family may not be around as, uh…physically as they once were, but Emily’s demonic doll Suzie still strolls the manor’s halls looking for a playmate. Find the courage to leave no stone unturned in 360° rendered environments from a fully-controllable first-person perspective, solve silly puzzles, and escape from Suzie’s sight before she decides what game she wants to play with you.

Riddlewood Manor may be trying to kill you, but not everything residing within is – at least, they don’t mean to. Encounter living creatures still lingering around the ghostly gothic mansion: comfort an eccentric dragon, feed a derpy chicken, cook breakfast for patriarchal spirits, and deduce other solutions to the house’s dark, menacing puzzles. Find solutions to survive a murderous building and uncover the tragic truth behind the Riddlewoods’ fate.

Look. Not all of us are born with the frontal lobe of an infallible scientist. Mistakes are natural. In Riddlewood Manor, they’re also unfortunately fatal. This can be a good thing! Test out strange solutions for the chance to discover secrets buried throughout the estate. Sure, maybe you’ll get gobbled up by a carnivorous plant or drown in an underground sea of heinous goo, but hey! Thanks to a kind summoning circle of monks in the yard, at least you’ll respawn outside the manor more knowledgeable than ever.

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Riddlewood Manor is full of ‘em. Love ‘em? Have fun! Find them too stressful? Remove the surprise by turning on optional warnings ahead of the scare and enjoy the spooky spectacle stress-free.

Riddlewood Manor is a horror-themed point-and-click adventure developed and published by Peanut Button that combines escape-room puzzle design, supernatural mystery, and dark comedy into a surprisingly distinctive package. Rather than relying solely on frightening encounters or jump scares, the game builds its appeal through exploration, problem-solving, and a steady stream of strange discoveries hidden within a sprawling haunted estate. The result is an adventure that feels equally inspired by classic puzzle games, gothic ghost stories, and quirky comedy, creating an experience that stands out from many traditional horror releases. The story centers on a mysterious manor filled with secrets, traps, spirits, and long-forgotten history. From the moment players step inside, it becomes clear that the house is far more than an abandoned building. Every room contains clues, hidden mechanisms, unusual characters, and puzzles that gradually reveal the truth behind the estate's curse. The narrative unfolds through exploration rather than lengthy exposition, encouraging players to piece together the manor's history by examining their surroundings and interacting with the strange inhabitants that still linger within its walls. Puzzle-solving forms the backbone of the entire experience. The manor is essentially one enormous interconnected puzzle box where progress depends on observation, experimentation, and logical thinking. Locked doors, hidden compartments, coded messages, and environmental riddles constantly challenge players to pay attention to details. Many solutions require information gathered from completely different areas of the mansion, making exploration feel meaningful and rewarding. The game does an excellent job of creating those satisfying moments when scattered clues suddenly come together to reveal a solution. One of the most interesting features is how the game treats failure. Instead of simply punishing mistakes with a traditional game-over screen, death becomes part of the overall design. The manor is filled with dangerous situations, and players will frequently find themselves meeting unfortunate ends. However, these failures often contribute to progress by teaching valuable information about hazards, puzzle mechanics, or the layout of the house. This approach transforms experimentation into a core part of the gameplay and encourages players to take risks rather than play cautiously at all times. The atmosphere is one of the game's greatest achievements. Riddlewood Manor successfully creates a sense of mystery that persists throughout the adventure. Every newly unlocked room feels like a discovery, and the uncertainty surrounding what might be waiting behind the next door keeps exploration engaging. The mansion constantly gives the impression that it is hiding more secrets than players currently understand, motivating continued investigation even during the more challenging puzzle sections. While horror is certainly present, the game frequently balances its darker moments with humor. Strange creatures, eccentric characters, and unexpected situations appear throughout the adventure, preventing the experience from becoming overwhelmingly grim. This blend of comedy and horror works remarkably well because it keeps the tone unpredictable. Players may move from solving a sinister mystery to participating in a bizarre interaction with one of the manor's unusual residents within a matter of minutes. These lighter moments help give the game a unique personality that separates it from more conventional haunted-house adventures. The visual presentation contributes significantly to the overall charm. The hand-crafted art style combines colorful character designs with eerie environments, creating a world that feels both welcoming and unsettling. Rooms are filled with small details that reward careful observation, while character animations and illustrations add personality to every encounter. The art direction succeeds in making the manor memorable without relying on graphic horror or excessive darkness. Exploration is enhanced by the manor's interconnected structure. As players acquire new items and knowledge, previously inaccessible areas gradually open up. Returning to older locations with fresh information often reveals hidden pathways, overlooked clues, or entirely new puzzle opportunities. This design creates a strong sense of progression and encourages players to think of the manor as a cohesive environment rather than a series of isolated levels. The game's pacing is generally strong, though some of the later puzzles become considerably more demanding. Certain solutions require careful note-taking and a willingness to revisit earlier areas in search of forgotten clues. Players who enjoy complex adventure games will likely appreciate this depth, while others may occasionally find themselves stuck for extended periods. Fortunately, most challenges feel logically constructed, making successful solutions particularly rewarding. Another strength lies in the game's willingness to reward curiosity. Optional interactions, hidden secrets, and alternative outcomes encourage players to thoroughly investigate every corner of the estate. Completionists will find plenty of reasons to explore beyond the main objectives, and the presence of multiple endings adds further incentive to experiment with different choices and approaches. Riddlewood Manor ultimately succeeds because it understands the appeal of mystery. The game constantly provides new questions to answer, new rooms to investigate, and new puzzles to solve. Every mechanic, from exploration and puzzle-solving to its unusual approach to death, supports the central theme of uncovering secrets hidden within a dangerous and fascinating location. For players who enjoy escape-room challenges, classic point-and-click adventures, and atmospheric horror with a sense of humor, Riddlewood Manor delivers a highly entertaining experience. Its combination of intelligent puzzle design, memorable setting, quirky characters, and supernatural storytelling creates an adventure that remains engaging from beginning to end. While some of its more difficult puzzles may test patience, the satisfaction of unraveling the manor's mysteries makes the journey well worth the effort. Rating: 8/10
just like rusty lake, amazing and fun game!
Juego de puzles de point & click muy entretenido y de distintas dificultades. Lo he disfrutado mucho.
If you like point and click adventure games with puzzles and a bit of spookiness (mild jump scares) then this game is fun. My only critique is that there are a few achievements that if you miss on your first playthrough it should be easier to go back and get them. I had to play through half the game again to get 1 I missed. [spoiler] make sure you die all possible ways to avoid this [/spoiler]
Really loved this game! The puzzles were just hard enough to keep you interested. Although I died quite a lot, it wasn't hard to start over except the missing items in your inventory was a bummer. Sometimes you had to kill yourself just to get out of an area though lol. The graphics were excellent as was the storyline which is big for me. The one thing I didn't like was not being able to follow the Duck King story. I know where the alter is, I know where the colored clue for it is, but every time I grab the colored crystals to use, I get locked in the Mom's room and have to go down into the sewers to die in order to get out. Please add an update where you can accomplish this in the game!
A delightfully scary point-and-click. I love horror stuff, but can't normally play it myself (I get nervous). The jumpscare warning let me play this without fear and without taking away from the scariness. I appreciate the feature!!
