The phone is the game

No board, no controller: everything happens inside a phone that isn't yours, and a little beyond it.

01

A phone to search

Messages, photos, emails, calls, calendar, voice memos: any detail can be a clue. First, you have to find the passcode.

02

They text you

While you investigate, the owner's family keeps texting. You choose what to answer, and they remember it.

03

Your iPhone becomes an object

Turn it like a key to open a station locker, blow on an old programme to clear away the dust.

04

The mystery leaves the screen

Real websites to visit, a real email address to write to. And always a nudge if you get stuck.

Inside the phone

The phone has its own system, its own apps and its own secrets. The case notebook is made of paper. Screenshots from the French version.

FAQ

What is Enigmous?

A detective and puzzle game for iPhone. You find a stranger's phone and investigate inside it: a passcode to find, messages to read, photos to search, characters who text you. Some riddles are even solved off the screen.

Is it an escape game?

It feels like one: you find codes, cross-check clues and open what is locked. But everything happens inside a phone, and each story tells a real plot, in five chapters.

How long is a story?

Each story has five chapters, and a chapter takes about 45 minutes to an hour. You can stop whenever you like: the game picks up where you left off.

How much does it cost?

The game is free to download and the first chapter of every story is free. The full story is then bought once: €4.99 for Grandpa's Treasure Hunt. No ads, no subscription.

Which devices?

iPhone, with iOS 17 or later. There is no Android version for now.

Which language?

The game is in French for now. The English version is in the works.

What age is it for?

The stories are designed for players aged about 12 and up: mystery and humour, no violence.

What if I get stuck?

A cousin of the phone's owner texts you nudges, in three levels: point you, guide you, give it away. No riddle leaves you stuck.

Do I need an internet connection?

Not for most of it. A few riddles invite you to visit a website or send an email; offline, a nudge gives you the answer.

Do I lose my purchase if I change phones?

No. The “Restaurer l'achat” (restore purchase) button in the game brings it back on any device signed in with the same Apple Account. Family Sharing is on.

What does the game do with my data?

Nothing leaves your phone: no account, no ads, no tracking. The microphone is only used to detect a breath, when you ask for it, and nothing is recorded. Privacy policy.

When does it come out?

Soon on the App Store. More stories, with other themes, will follow.
