You wake up on the floor of a dark, creaking house, and the door is locked. Somewhere in the next room, you hear footsteps — slow, heavy, and getting closer. Granny Clone puts you in the middle of a survival-horror escape where every sound you make can give you away. You have five days to search the house, gather keys and tools, and unlock your way out before she catches you for good.

The House Is Listening

Granny Clone is a first-person stealth horror game built around one idea: Granny hears everything and sees almost everything. Her AI hunts you with two senses. Sound detection means every dropped item, sprinted step, and slammed door sends her walking straight to your position. Vision detection means crossing her line of sight gives you away instantly. Your only edges are patience, planning, and a good memory of where things are.

The house is packed with rooms to search — bedrooms, a basement, a bathroom, and hidden corners you will miss on your first run. Each room can hold a key, a tool, or a trap. The main door out is blocked by several obstacles, and every obstacle needs a specific item. You clear them one by one: find the hammer, remove the planks, find the cutting pliers, snip the wires, and so on until the master key sets you free.

How to Get Out Alive

Your run has a simple shape: search quietly, grab what you need, stay out of sight, and work the main door. Getting caught does not end the game — Granny knocks you out and a day passes. Run out all five days and the run is over.

The Five-Day Clock

Think of the five days as five lives. Every capture costs you a day and drops you back at your starting point, but the items you already collected stay collected. That makes early days the time for bold exploration: learn the layout, find the keys, and memorize the hiding spots. On later days, play tight and quiet — one mistake with two days left can end a good run. The pressure builds because the house does not change, but Granny seems to get luckier the more you panic.

The Item Chain

In granny clone, escape works like a chain of locked problems. You will keep finding items like these:

• Hammer — smashes wooden planks and loose boards blocking your path.
• Cutting pliers — snips wires and cables on locked mechanisms.
• Door key — opens locked doors to new rooms with better items.
• Weapon key — unlocks weapon caches that can slow Granny down.
• Screwdriver — opens vent covers and electrical panels.
• Safe key — opens the safe, which usually hides the master key or a critical tool.
• Master key — the final key that opens the main door and ends the run.

Search order matters less than search discipline. Grab an item, carry it to where it belongs, and move on — wandering with a full inventory wastes quiet time.

Controls You Need to Know

• WASD or Arrow Keys — move through the house
• E — interact with objects, pick up items, enter or exit hiding spots
• C or Ctrl — crouch; you move slower but make far less noise
• H — hide when standing near a hiding spot like a wardrobe or under a bed
• F — throw a held item to lure Granny toward a different room
• Esc — pause the game

Crouch-walking is your default speed. Stand up and sprint only when you know she is far away — the noise difference between a sprint and a crouch is the difference between a chase and a clean getaway.

Noise Is Your Real Enemy

Most new players lose to noise, not to Granny herself. A thrown item is the perfect example of the noise rule working both ways. Toss a bottle into the hallway and she will march off to investigate while you slip through the room she just left. But drop that same bottle by accident near a hiding spot and you have handed her your exact location.

Granny clone rewards players who treat sound like a resource. Close doors softly, never knock objects off shelves, and listen for her footsteps before turning a corner. Her steps are loud and slow — if you hear them close, duck into the nearest wardrobe or under the nearest bed immediately instead of trying to outrun her.

Tips That Actually Help You Escape

Learn the floor plan first. Spend day one mapping rooms and doorways. Knowing where the basement, the safe, and the main door sit saves you panicked running on later days.

Clear rooms in loops. Search a full loop of rooms, then return to the main door to use what you found. Backtracking with purpose keeps you away from areas she just searched.

Always know your nearest hiding spot. Before you grab a loud item, look around and pick your escape. Under-bed spots save more runs than any tool does.

Use traps against her. Bear traps and floor traps catch her too. Lure her across a trapped room and you buy yourself a long, quiet search window.

Throw to distract, not to panic. Plan your throw: pick the far room, throw, and move while she walks away. Random throws just move the problem around.

Wear headphones. Her footsteps, door sounds, and the ambient creaks tell you exactly where she is. Audio is half the game.

Questions Players Keep Asking

Is granny clone free to play?

Yes. It runs free in your browser with no download and no account needed. You can start a run in seconds.

What happens when Granny catches me?

She knocks you out, one of your five days passes, and you wake back at your starting point. Any items you already collected stay collected, so a capture costs you time, not progress.

How many days do I get to escape?

Five. That is five chances total. Playing bold on day one and day two, then quiet on the last days, is the safest way to use them.

What are the best hiding spots?

Under beds, inside wardrobes, behind doors, and in basement corners. The best hiding spot is always the one closest to you when you hear her coming — memorize them room by room.

Why does she always find me when I run?

Sprinting is loud, and her hearing is her strongest sense. Crouch-walk as your default, and only sprint when you are sure she is on the other side of the house.

How Did Your Escape Go?

Every run of granny clone feels different — the keys land in new places, the close calls change, and the final sprint to the main door gets your heart pounding every time.
