This mansion holds many secrets – and perhaps something more sinister. Prepare to search every corner, observe every detail, and connect the clues to uncover the truth.
The Mystery of the Blackrock Family
The story of Secrets of Blackrock Manor begins after the mysterious deaths of the three children of Augustus Blackrock. In the wake of this tragedy, Augustus hid his vast fortune so that no one could ever claim it.
But was that his only secret? What really happened to the Blackrock family, and where does the treasure lie? Your task is to explore the eerie manor and find out.
Think, and Connect
This is a game designed for true fans of the escape room genre. You will be faced with eight distinct escape rooms within the manor, each filled with its own unique puzzles and challenges.
As with all escape rooms, the core gameplay demands sharp observation and logical thinking. You must observe, think, and connect the clues to solve the puzzles. Every object could be a hint, meaning you’ll need to keep your eyes open and your brain sharp as you search every lavish, stylised corner of the mansion.
