About the game

What you do in a play session

The Purple House is a cooperative horror deduction game where you and your friends are trapped in a haunted Filipino house. The goal? Escape before the White Lady — or your collective memory — gets you. The game plays like a dynamic puzzle: you flip doors in specific sequences, marking some with red paint as clues. The catch? Communication is limited. Will your team decipher your cryptic markings? Tension rises as time ticks down and the haunting escalates. With memory, deduction, and exploration mechanics, each game tests teamwork under pressure. Solo play is possible, but it's way scarier (and tougher) without backup.
