You wake up trapped in a dark, creaky house. Granny, a terrifying old woman, patrols the halls and hunts you down. Your only goal: escape within five days by solving puzzles, finding keys, and staying silent.
What is Granny?
Granny is a horror escape game by DVloper where you must sneak through an old house, collect items, and unlock the exit before Granny catches you. The game blends stealth, puzzle-solving, and adaptive AI that reacts to every noise you make. It belongs to the adventure genre with its focus on exploration and escape.
The game became famous for its tense hide-and-seek gameplay, jump scares, and multiple escape routes. Whether you unlock the front door, repair a car in the garage, or crawl through underground pipes, each playthrough feels fresh. Granny’s AI learns from your actions, making every step a risk.
How to Play Granny
Your objective is simple: escape the house within five in-game days. Each time Granny catches you, you lose a day and wake up back in bed. The house has five floors filled with locked doors, hidden keys, tools, and puzzles.
Stealth is everything. Walk carefully to avoid creaking floorboards. Crouch under tables or hide in wardrobes when Granny approaches. Use items like a hammer to break boards, a shotgun to stun Granny temporarily, or freeze spray to slow her down. Every action makes noise, so plan your moves wisely.
How to Escape in Granny
There are three main escape routes:
- Front Door: Collect six small keys hidden across the house to unlock it.
- Garage Car: Find car keys, gasoline, and repair parts to drive away.
- Backyard Pipe: Use a shovel to dig and crawl through a tunnel.
Each route requires different items and puzzle solutions. You can also adjust difficulty in the settings: Practice mode makes Granny slower and almost blind, while Nightmare mode makes her fast and relentless.
Tips and Tricks for Granny
- Silence is survival
Walk instead of running. Crouch when passing near Granny’s patrol area. - Lure her away
Drop an item or make a noise in one room, then slip past her in another. - Know your hiding spots
Beds, closets, and coffins are safe, but Granny will check them if she saw you enter. - Use weapons sparingly
The shotgun and freeze spray can stun Granny, but they’re loud and only have limited ammo. - Memorize item locations
Keys and tools spawn in random spots each game, so explore thoroughly on day one.
