About the game
The Secret of Langton Manor is an episodic print-and-play escape-room series for 1–4 players (best at that size, but workable with up to 6). Each chapter is a stack of printable pages you cut into “room” and “object” cards. A free companion app is used only to verify each three-digit solution on an on-screen combination lock and provide optional tiered hints. When a code is accepted, the app simply tells the group which printed page to draw next; all other interaction happens at the table. Every episode contains ten puzzles, all solved by three-digit codes tied to symbols, and plays in 60 to 120 minutes. The timer can be paused, so sessions need not be continuous. The story unfolds in 1922 through diary pages, newspaper clippings, photographs, and other physical props. Episodes form a single narrative, yet each begins with a concise recap, so they can be played in or out of order. Episodes 1 to 4 are available (about six hours of total play). Legacy (Episode 1) is free. Episode 5, Echoes, concludes the series on 31 October 2026.
