Enter The House of Da Vinci, a new must-try 3D puzzle adventure game. Solve mechanical puzzles, discover hidden objects, escape from rooms and dive into the authentic atmosphere of the Renaissance. Use all your wits to find out what's behind your master's disappearance.

• KEY FEATURES •

PEEK INTO THE PAST
An unusual gauntlet allows you to witness events that happened earlier, and learn more of the story.

• WHAT’S THE STORY BEHIND THE HOUSE OF DA VINCI? •
You are Da Vinci’s most promising apprentice. Your master, Leonardo, has disappeared. You have no idea where he’s gone or what has happened. So you begin your quest, your search for the truth. However, Leonardo's workshop is full of puzzles, inventions, escape mechanisms and objects hidden in all corners of beautifully decorated rooms. You’ll need to use all of your brain cells to find out what’s really going on!

We’ve applied our own imagination to the story of the world’s greatest inventor, Leonardo da Vinci, providing players with unique special abilities throughout gameplay. We allow you to warp back into your early days as a young apprentice, exploring the 16th century world around you, peeking into Leonardo’s mechanisms, puzzles and devices, as you eventually become powerful enough to control time itself and learn the secrets hidden in the past.

Many challenging puzzles are inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci's real inventions and ideas. Mysterious locations were created based on original artworks and the wonderful Florence, Italy of 1506.

### 3/5 — Not compatible with new phones

*2026-08-08*

I am on a mystery room hyperfixation right now so I was excited to try out this game. As much as I'd like to like it, it is extremely frustrating. I have an iPhone 16 and the inventory is covered by the camera so I can't see what needs additions to be used, and the Siri bar at the bottom is blocking the tracing aspect so I cannot complete the picture I need to trace. Very grateful I was able to try it for free though because of I bought this game just for it to be u playable I'd be very upset.

### 5/5 — Loved this

*2026-03-22*

Its such an amazing mystery room! Had goosebumps playing it 😍

### 2/5 — Не возможно

*2026-02-16*

В игре я нашла шкатулку но там деталь не передвигается

### 5/5 — When is the next release?

*2025-03-27, version 1.0.3*

When is the next release? I keep checking and there’s nothing for over a year. When is the next release???? After 3, you have released an amazing series. When is the next one? Please release another amazing instalment. Thank you!!

### 1/5 — Stuck at the beginning

*2024-11-09*

Once I got the key at the beginning, I can’t do anything else

### 3/5 — Yeah… don’t think I need to play more.

*2024-08-25*

As tired as the devs must be of hearing that this is a rip off of The Room… it’s a rip off of The Room. Only the very limited and clunky navigation and interaction with your surroundings is enough to drive you to insanity. There’s a lens like The Room, but trying to get it to activate is an exercise in futility most of the time. You start to think there’s no need to use it on a particular puzzle because it won’t freaking activate… until the hint tells you that you do, so you have to fight with it to get it to work. There’s no logical flow to the puzzles. It’s just puzzles because Da Vinci is a genius and he felt like it I guess. You can barely read the writing in his letters. And interacting with things is awkward and frustrating.

I’m not one of the people who wants stuff for free. I prefer to buy games outright. But if I’m more frustrated with the interface than with the actual puzzles, something is wrong.

### 5/5 — The DEMO is great

*2024-03-21*

I was looking for difficult puzzle games, because I have already played all free different adventure/puzzle game.

The demo was awesome, I had no problem of any type. I love the atmosphere and how you can turn things around (that was new for me since a lot of free games doesnt have that feature) or the perspective. Controls are also very simple to understand. It seems a lot of work on this! 

There still two reasons why I havent decide to buy it yet:
1. The demo was way too easy for me, maybe it is because it is just a demo. But I am very used to puzzles, so I wanna have something more difficult to solve.
2. I didnt understood the books on the side, you were able to open them and see whats inside but you didnt use them in the demo for anything. I would be very mad if I had things like that on the premium version. By that I mean things that doesnt have a meaning or use, because that would confuse me more than it should.

I still think it seems like a great game, but from my perspective till now, seems to be more for beginners in the puzzle world (like I already said that it was very easy for me, you do you).

### 5/5 — When is the next release?

*2024-02-28, version 1.0.3*

When is the next release? I keep checking and there’s nothing for over a year. When is the next release????

### 2/5 — the room

*2024-02-12*

o jogo é muito bom, mas teve uma parte que eu clicava para ir em um negocio e ele ia no outro sendo que tinha um espação entre os dois

### 5/5 — Vynikající 👍

*2023-11-07, version 1.0.3*

Poprvé co jsem za hry utratil nějaké finance.Už od prvního dílu mě hra chytla.Gratuluji vývojářům.Jen tak dál a přeji do budoucna dost takovýchto napaditých her.
