But a sudden pounding rainstorm forces you to take shelter, and you head for an abandoned mansion. Before you know it, you are trapped. This is not your day - you must now escape from RAVING MANOR! Raving Manor is a cross between a classic adventure game and a graphic novel. You must go through the manor, finding objects and clues that might help you with your escape, pitting your wits against the unknown. Will you find your way out?

Raving Manor's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 55 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Blindscape is free to download; Raving Manor costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Raving Manor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blindscape has 1.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Raving Manor's written reviews are positive against 91% of Blindscape's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Raving Manor ships an update every 3 months, Blindscape every 55 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
