Fans of all things mind-bending and mysterious will be able to get their fix from today, as The House of Da Vinci graces smartphone screens tasking players to escape and seek the truth. Available now for iOS devices, the kickstarted game from developer Blue Brain Games provides a unique hands-on 3D puzzle experience which tales its inspiration from The Room series.

So what’s the story? You’re placed in the role of the great Leonardo’s da Vinci’s apprentice and it’s up to you to find out what’s behind his strange disappearance. Was he killed by the church? Did some of his machines transport him into another time? Is he hiding under the bed? The only way to be sure is by solving a series of head-scratching puzzles that will see you ferreting out hidden artefacts and unpicking complex mechanisms, while conquering a host of other obstacles that strive to be challenging as well as faithfully authentic to the time.

One of the big motivations for Blue Brain Games when developing The House of Da Vinci, was to provide all that play the puzzle adventurer a true sense of authenticity. The game’s music, architecture, and mood all take inspiration from actual da Vinci concepts, manuscripts and inventions, firmly placing players within the world of 16th century Italy.

Whisking you away through Da Vinci’s enigma-filled workshop are The House of Da Vinci’s intuitive touch controls that aim to make light work of swiping and tapping your way through each lovingly realised room, invention, and contraption. Brought to life in full 3D graphics, now’s your chance to explore perhaps one of mobile’s most beautifully and the most detailed game environments ever seen.

Be among the first to discover what really happened to the great genius Leonardo Da Vinci. The House of Da Vinci is available now from the App store with Android, Mac and PC releases expected soon.
