Quiet House is a board game released in 2024 for 2–4 players, 10–30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Emanuele Briano and its main mechanics are Square Grid, Cooperative Game, and Communication Limits.
Wandering ghosts in search of refuge have discovered an abandoned mansion. Inside this old and cozy mansion, the ghosts were all content, but they had different ideas about the arrangement of five statues scattered throughout the grand hall. To place the statues to their liking, the ghosts began moving them around at random. Can they find a placement that satisfies everyone before daybreak? Quiet House is a co-operative game in which players take turns moving statues to create arrangements that meet the goals. At the start of the game, goal tiles are assigned, indicating how the statues should be placed for a victory. However, players have only partial information about these goals and cannot communicate with each other regarding them. Success in the game relies on careful observation of others' moves, making guesses about the goals they know, and collaborating effectively to achieve the correct arrangement promptly. —description from the publisher
Quiet House supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Quiet House is 10–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Quiet House for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Quiet House has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
