Something off?
Report an issueGrandpa 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...
Can you solve the mystery of Grisly Manor?
Features: • Beautiful hand-painted graphics that draw you into this mesmerizing adventure! • Lots of items to collect and puzzles to solve! • Original soundtrack and sound effects! • A journal that keeps track of all the symbols and clues that you encounter. • A dynamic map that shows all of the areas you have explored, as well as your current location. • A complete hint system built right into the game. • The Secret of Grisly Manor has been translated into many languages. • Available for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad!

8 of 25Waiting for hints is excruciating & no location jumps on the map - negatives. Story and puzzles- great!
I was looking forward to a new mystery game. I think it took me about 30 min to finish. Very disappointed
I played this like a year ago and I’m still going back to it. It’s soooooooo fun
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.
I have played this when I was younger and I have played all of the others and loved them to! Can’t wait for a new game ( hopefully Grizzly Manor 3!)
Just when you find grandpa, and he tells you this thrilling stuff, it ends!! I thought it was just getting started! Good for the age of the game graphics-wise, puzzles are interesting. No hidden object scenes, thankfully. Cannot justify a higher rating when the game is this short.
The game is fun, but too short. The second one (Return to Grisly Manor) is a lot longer and a lot better. Get that.
I am a fan of the Fire Maple games. Grisly Manor benefits from the forethought that went into making the puzzles fit in with the story and the environments (as opposed to the games which just make you bounce from one slider puzzle to another combination lock puzzle just to retrieve items that make no sense in the storyline). The puzzles are at a medium level of difficulty (just hard enough to make you think, but far from exasperating). This game, like all of Fire Maple’s games, is a welcome relief from the gloomy, creepy settings and atmosphere in most of the games in this genre. The music is pleasant, the visuals are colorful, and the sense of humor is quirky and amusing, which makes for a stress-free puzzle-solving experience. The journal and the map are useful features, as well. Overall, even though this game is probably the shortest of Fire Maple’s games (makes sense, considering this was their first game) it’s a nice, calm way to spend a few hours, and scratch that puzzling itch.
