Jan Pienkowski Haunted House

Jan Pienkowski: Haunted House is a child-friendly point-and-click adventure based on Jan Pienkowski’s pop-up book. Designed for children ages 4 to 8, it invites players to explore a haunted house filled with strange creatures, ghosts, and monsters without focusing on genuine horror.

Each room recreates the book’s original artwork and can be explored freely. Clicking on interactive hotspots triggers humorous animations, accompanied by a mix of occasionally ominous music and mostly playful sound effects. A house map provides quick travel between rooms, while the open-ended experience centers on exploration and fun rather than specific objectives.
