Haunted Dollhouse
Two takes on the same idea: a dollhouse in a rainy attic, six miniature rooms, and tiny ghosts who flee whichever rooms you light. Both hide a surprise for the right pattern of lights. Play both and pick the one you like more.
Side by side runs both takes at once, which is heavy on phones. Tap once inside a take to turn on its sound.

| The surprise | The ghosts waltz around the house to a music-box tune | The house turns to face you, its windows light up as a smiling face, and ghosts and bats dance to a waltz |
| How you find it | A hint at the bottom of the panel: on a chequered night, the ghosts dance | A riddle at the bottom of the panel |

The idea
An old open-backed Victorian dollhouse on a dusty attic floor at night, with rain on a round window. Click rooms to switch their lights; tiny ghosts wander the house and gather in the dark ones. Every room has one small thing that reacts, and one combination of lit and dark rooms hides a surprise.
Opus 5.5 Low
A two-column Victorian dollhouse on a dusty attic floor, six rooms stacked three high from cellar to attic. Flick the lights and the ghosts slip off to whichever rooms are still dark; poke the furniture and something stirs.
- Click a room to switch its light
- Click the piano, globe, rocking chair, dresser, barrel or trunk
- Drag to turn the house, scroll or pinch to zoom
| Click a room | Light on or off |
|---|---|
| Click a ghost | Startle it into a dark room |
| Drag | Turn the house |
| Scroll or pinch | Zoom |
| Esc | Leave cinema mode |
Show the secret (spoiler)
The hint in the panel says the ghosts dance on a chequered night. Light the rooms in a chequerboard, so no two lit rooms sit side by side or one above the other.
Opus 5.5 High
A gabled dollhouse with an attic under the roof, a library and nursery, a kitchen and parlour, and a long cellar. A little map of the house in the panel shows which rooms are lit and where the ghosts are hiding.
- Click a room, or press 1 to 6, to switch its light
- Click the rocking chair, globe, jack-in-the-box, cupboard, piano or cat
- Drag to turn the house, scroll or pinch to zoom
| Click a room | Light on or off |
|---|---|
| 1 – 6 | Switch a room |
| Drag | Turn the house |
| Scroll or pinch | Zoom |
| L | Lightning |
| K | Knock on the door |
| C | Cinema mode |
| M | Mute |
Show the secret (spoiler)
Read the riddle at the bottom of the panel: light the library and the nursery for eyes and the cellar for a grin, and leave the kitchen and parlour dark.
