Unbelievably believable escape games,
coming soon to Dover, NH

At Riddlehaven, our games are designed to be more than just a set of puzzles—they’re immersive experiences. Using technology, interactive environments, and engaging narratives, we want to make every moment memorable and fun.

Our goal is to design and build the puzzles, props, and sets ourselves, using traditional and modern tools like 3D printers, CNC machines, and laser cutters. As we navigate this steep learning curve, our plans will evolve, and we’re excited to see how the games develop and to share our progress with you!

Below, you’ll find descriptions of our current games in the works. Keep in mind that these are subject to change! We expect The Ghost Ship and Airlock to be available when we open, and the other two to roll out later. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date on the latest Riddlehaven developments!

We are challenging ourselves to:

  • Tell stories that are rooted in well-loved themes and settings, but with our own unique twist.

  • Design puzzles that make sense within the context of the story.

  • Use set design, electronics, lighting, and sound to create a cinematic experience.

  • Pay attention to accessibility issues when designing our games, making them fun to play for a wide audience.

Two ships went out, but only one returned.

Step aboard the Fauna, a once-proud clipper ship now wrecked and abandoned by its crew. Two years earlier, the Fauna and her sister ship, the Flora, set out from New York Harbor on a scientific expedition to the Pacific Islands.

As you explore the dark, creaking captain’s quarters, you’ll uncover the chilling fate of the crew and race to escape the danger that still prowls the ship.

The Ghost Ship

Welcome aboard the U.S. space station Oblivion, where everything’s under control—until it’s not.

Oblivion’s onboard control system, ASTRA, tells you that she just watched 2001: A Space Odyssey, and that she “got a big kick out of it.” With the self-destruct sequence now activated, you’ve got an hour to prove your intelligence and outwit ASTRA’s ludicrous tests to stop the countdown.

Fans of the video game Portal will appreciate ASTRA’s razor-sharp charm—right up until you get blown into the middle of next week.

Airlock

Lights, camera, chaos!

When the arrogant and vengeful lead actor of a blockbuster spy movie goes off-script and sabotages the set, it’s up to your team to recover and restore the damaged footage before the premiere.

In this interactive experience, players step into the role of behind-the-scenes heroes, using technology to solve puzzles that play with the magic of practical movie effects.

Perfect for kids and families, Spy Movie Mayhem blends puzzle solving and teamwork with the excitement of filmmaking!

This mysterious escape room experience challenges small groups of 2-4 to solve puzzles that cleverly weave in elements of classic literature.
