Pre-order — opens Saturday 10 October, 6pm UK. Your 30 days start then.
Whatever you hear tonight, don’t open the door.
THE STILL ROOM is an online escape room — a ghost story you play entirely in your browser, on your own or with up to five friends. You’re sent to catalogue a dead woman’s belongings, in a house that had other ideas.
How it works
-
Buy your Game Pass. One Game Pass covers the whole group — solo, or with up to five friends.
-
It lands in your inbox. We email your Game Pass straight after payment. The house opens Saturday 10 October at 6pm UK, and your 30 days start then. Nothing is posted, and there’s nothing to download.
-
Sign in and play. Sign in at playthestillroom.com with that email and your game is waiting — on the sofa together, or everyone on their own phone or laptop, miles apart.
What you get
-
60–90 minutes for most groups, in one evening
-
Real puzzles and ciphers — letters, ledgers and documents you actually have to read
-
A ghost story that reacts to you, with split clues so each player holds something the others don’t
-
Built-in hints: a nudge, a stronger nudge, then the answer, so nobody stays stuck
-
Jump scares you can switch off — the dread stays either way
-
30 days of access from the moment the house opens, so there’s no pressure to finish in one sitting
-
Age 16+, for one honest reason: it’s genuinely unsettling, not because of anything explicit
Who it’s for
Play it entirely alone, at your own pace, or bring up to five friends — everyone on their own phone or laptop, in the same room or a video call away. Sound on, and headphones are recommended.
Questions
What do we need to play?
A web browser on a phone, tablet or laptop. No app to install, nothing to download, and nothing arrives in the post.
How many people can play?
Solo, or with up to five friends — six on one Game Pass. Each player needs their own device to hold their own clues.
How long does it take?
60–90 minutes for most groups. Your 30 days of access start when the house opens, so you can finish it whenever suits.
What age is it suitable for?
16+. It contains jump scares, which can be switched off completely. The unsettling atmosphere stays either way.
How does it arrive?
We email your Game Pass straight after payment. The house opens Saturday 10 October at 6pm UK, and your 30 days start then. Sign in at playthestillroom.com with that email and your game is waiting once it opens. Check your junk folder if it hasn’t arrived within a few minutes.
Is this a physical box?
No — THE STILL ROOM is entirely digital, played in your browser. Nothing is posted.
What about cancellation?
THE STILL ROOM opens on Saturday 10 October at 6pm UK. You keep your 14-day right to cancel until you first start playing after it opens. Once you start, you agree you lose that right.

Health and safety
THE STILL ROOM is a ghost story built to frighten, and it is rated 16+. It has brief flashes of light (never more than three in a second), sudden loud sounds and jump scares, and its story involves the deaths of children in the past. If you or anyone playing has photosensitive epilepsy, a heart condition or high blood pressure, is pregnant, or lives with anxiety, panic or PTSD, please read the full health notice at playthestillroom.com/disclaimer#health before you play. Jump scares, flashes and sudden sounds can be switched off in the game, Reduce Motion on your device softens movement, you can stop at any time, and please keep headphone volume low.
