Every puzzle has been re-created with VR in mind, and every location has been carefully brought to life with more depth and even more beautiful views.

As Da Vinci’s most promising apprentice, you must strive to solve the mystery of your master’s disappearance by solving mechanical puzzles, discovering hidden objects and escaping from rooms filled with Leonardo’s inventions. Dive into an authentic and beautifully recreated Renaissance world and use all your wits to uncover the secrets behind your master’s disappearance.

Since its launch, The House of Da Vinci trilogy has sold over 500k copies for PC and over 4 million units for mobile devices, securing almost 8k ‘Very Positive’ ratings on PC channels and more than 200k 5* ratings on mobile channels.

However, Leonardo’s workshop is full of puzzles, inventions, escape mechanisms and objects hidden in all corners of beautifully decorated rooms.

We allow you to warp back into your early days as a young apprentice, exploring the 16th century world around you, peeking into Leonardo’s mechanisms, puzzles and devices, as you eventually become powerful enough to control time itself and learn the secrets hidden in the past.
