Granny is for players who want a short, tense horror puzzle on a phone and do not mind ads. DVloper released it on November 23, 2017, and it is listed on Google Play only. The current version is 1.8.12, updated on June 6, 2026.
First steps once Granny is installed
The game needs Android 7.0 or newer, so check your device before you install. It is free, and Google Play rates it Teen. The setup is simple: Granny has locked you in her house, and you have 5 days to find a way out.
Start by moving slowly. She reacts to noise, and a dropped object brings her running. Learn where the wardrobes and beds are early, since you can hide in both.
Sound and hiding drive the whole game
Granny is built around one strong idea. You are stuck in a house with someone who hears everything, so every item you carry and every drop has a cost. That makes stealth the main skill, not speed.
The hiding spots give you a way to recover when she gets close. Google Play shows a 4.3 rating from about 4.4 million ratings, and the game has over 500 million installs there.
When Into the Dead may suit you better
Granny is built around one house and a five-day limit. If you want a different pace, Into the Dead is an alternative; check its Google Play page first.
Also consider another title if ads bother you. Granny contains advertising and in-app purchases.
