A downloadable puzzle book

  


A single place, a single book, a single page, a single word, a single thought…
…and a HOUSE.


HOUSE is a collection of 25* hand-crafted puzzles,
e
ach one revolves around deriving a five-letter word from a set of
clues by looking for patterns and trying to figure out what the
graphics are trying to convey. The book features a large variety
of puzzles
to solve, as well as many secrets to discover.

Designed by Razu R. Pingvin, the creator of 1D1P, in collaboration with DAVE, Laserpointers, and Unsuspiciousperson.

Special thanks to Jack Lance
for reporting some game-breaking errors upon release

and SUS for solving a minor ambiguity error.

HOUSE is available for free, for everyone to enjoy.


This book is best experienced at your own pace, so don't feel bad about looking at the appendix for clues, as it is highly encouraged and even required for 100% completion. Because of this I also highly recommend reading through the book before attempting any puzzles. 

The puzzles may be tackled in any order but increase in difficulty as the book goes on. Solving and discussing the puzzles with other people is advised as well. I also suggest using an image editing program, as that will help you test your theories more efficiently to alleviate the solving process.

Feel free to leave any feedback or suggestions in the comments.
You can also email me here.

  

HOUSE is best paired with Steve Reich's album "Music for 18 Musicians."

So grab a cup of hot beverage, sit back, relax, and delve into the pages.
Who knows what you might find.


Good luck.
I hope you enjoy it.

The polish in this book is insane.
The puzzles are really well crafted.
The aesthetic is so consistent and really adds to the experience.
Just when you think it is over, it surprises you with new challenges.
I hope this book gets the attention it deserves.

Is there a community for this? A discord? I think I have solved the first 20 puzzles (was utterly stuck for days, then solved all 20 in a day), but the stuff afterwards is something else. It even seems there are way more than 5 puzzles (or words) left. Most of all, it is the hardest to see which clues and elements pertain to which puzzle. I am in need of hints LOL.

There is no specific community for HOUSE, but I highly recommend joining the Thinky Discord servers, there are a lot of cool people there you can talk to. They're also just really good places to discuss puzzles in general.
