The House of Da Vinci in IOS

Escape The Room Hidden Mystery

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Site Score

95/100

The House of Da Vinci is a masterpiece for fans of the room-escape and puzzle genres. The atmosphere is thick with mystery, perfectly capturing the Renaissance aesthetic of Leonardo's workshop. Every mechanical puzzle feels tactile and logical; you can almost feel the wooden gears clicking into place as you manipulate them on your screen.

The story is genuinely intriguing, keeping you motivated to solve increasingly complex riddles to find out what happened to your master. It's often compared to 'The Room' series, and it absolutely stands on that same level of quality. The visual fidelity is stunning, and the sense of discovery when you unlock a hidden compartment or a secret room is unmatched.

Dinsun Review

Dinsun here. I’ve heard people call this a clone of 'The Room'. Maybe it is. But when you clone something that well, I’m not going to complain. The mechanical puzzles here are genuinely clever. They feel tactile—you feel like you’re actually turning gears and sliding bolts. The Renaissance setting isn't just window dressing; it’s baked into the puzzle design with Da Vinci’s sketches and war machines.

The story is there, mostly to give you an excuse to move to the next room, but the atmosphere is the real star. It’s quiet, focused, and rewarding. I don't give high scores often, but if you appreciate a puzzle that makes you stop and actually think for ten minutes, this is it. It’s a bit linear, and some might find the 'look behind the wall' mechanic a bit repetitive, but it’s a high-quality production.

• 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.
