## What is Secret of Grisly Manor?

Grandpa always was a little eccentric. A fantastic engineer, he was always buried in his work, always coming up with new ideas and inventions that as a child held you wide-eyed in awe.

Now, after many years, you return to the house that holds so many fond memories for you, with a promise from Grandpa to show you something truly amazing. You can't even begin to imagine what it could be!

It's a dark and stormy night as you arrive at Grisly Manor. The rain beats down hard, lightning flashes in the sky as the sound of thunder fills your ears. You already feel a little creeped out, but when you make your way inside, the house is curiously empty. Grandpa is nowhere to be found!
 
But his presence is everywhere.

Familiar objects have been re-engineered to create puzzles for you. Clues abound, and as each puzzle is solved, the solution to others present themselves. As well as new puzzles, of course.

Grandpa obviously spent a lot of time making sure that nobody could solve the myriad of puzzles strewn about the house. Nobody but you, his favorite grandchild...

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-07-30, version 1.9.12*

Özellikle devam oyunu ile birlikte harika bir hikaye bütünlüğü yakalamış. Back to the future evrenine alternatif, güzel bir deneyimdi.

### 4/5 — Sympa, mais court et facile

*2026-07-05, version 1.9.12*

Amateur de ce genre de jeux, j’ai apprécié les puzzles, mais le jeu est beaucoup trop facile, en plus d’être très court. Heureusement, on va dire que je jeu est offert avec le pack de l’éditeur.

### 5/5 — Dose anyone need help?

*2026-07-02, version 1.9.12*

People who need help can contact me and i can give you hints for example you have to put water in the bath and clog it and THEN pour the fish bowl in the water so you can get rid of the fish

### 5/5 — Fun for all ages

*2026-03-21, version 1.9.12*

I enjoy adventure games, but most are a little scary for younger kids. I like to play sometimes with my kids that are 4 and 6 years old. Grisly Manor is not scary for kids, but also is clever enough with fun puzzles that require thinking. The kids can still complete things, but it is also fun to discover things as an adult. We've played most of Fire Maple games together and they are all fun.

### 1/5 — Short

*2026-03-14, version 1.9.12*

I was looking forward to a new mystery game. I think it took me about 30 min to finish. Very disappointed

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2026-01-22, version 1.9.12*

Bom demais

### 5/5 — Nice

*2025-10-13, version 1.9.12*

Good Game , Great way to welcome to Fire Maple Games

### 5/5 — oh fun !

*2025-01-02, version 1.9.12*

i played this game all the time when i was little, so often i memorized it! a great puzzle game with great original art and score! thank you for keeping this on the app store, i can’t wait to play it again:)

### 2/5 — Simplistic, short

*2024-12-29, version 1.9.12*

This games puzzles are too simplistic and the game very short esp for the price point.  80% of game time is spent walking around and retracing your steps not solving puzzles.  Would have been a good game at half the price.

### 5/5 — Macht Spaß

*2024-11-16, version 1.9.12*

Wir spielen so was immer mit den Kindern wenn wir fliegen. Ganz schöne Spiele.
