Granny Original: Play the First Horror Classic Online
Experience the game that started it all. Can you escape the house in 5 days?
🎮What is "Granny Original"?
Granny Original refers to the very first installment of the legendary horror series developed by DVloper. Released back in 2017, this game defined the mobile horror genre and challenged millions of players to a simple yet terrifying task: escape a locked house while avoiding a bat-wielding grandmother.
Unlike its sequels (Chapter Two and Granny 3), the original game focuses purely on Granny herself. There is no Grandpa, no Slendrina (though her easter eggs exist) — just you and her in a claustrophobic fight for survival.
🗝️Core Gameplay Features
The original game set the standard for stealth horror. Here is what you need to master:
🔊 Sound Mechanics
Granny's hearing is absolute. Drop a vase, knock over a painting, or step on a creaky floorboard, and she will come running. Silence is your only shield.
📅 5 Days to Live
You wake up on Day 1. Each time Granny catches you, you are knocked out and wake up the next day harder and more injured. If you fail on Day 5, it's Game Over.
🚪 Multiple Escapes
Unlock the massive Main Door (the standard route) or repair the car in the garage for a Car Escape.
🧸 The Lore
Assemble the Teddy Bear to unlock a secret ending involving Slendrina, hinting at the dark family history that connects all DVloper games.
🛠️Essential Original Items
🔨 The Hammer
Used to rip down planks blocking the door and the attic. A vital tool for opening up new areas of the house.
✂️ Cutting Pliers
Necessary to cut the door alarm wires and the fan power in the attic. Without this, the main door is impassable.
🧩 The Master Key
The final red key needed to unlock the main door and escape. Usually hidden in the most dangerous spots.
❓Granny Original vs. Sequels
Why play the original?
The original game is often considered the most balanced and focused experience. With only one enemy, the tension is purely about your skill in stealth versus her hearing. It's the perfect entry point for new horror fans.
Is it harder than Granny 3?
Many players find the original's house layout tighter and more claustrophobic, making close encounters more frequent. However, dealing with only one enemy (Granny) is simpler than juggling Granny, Grandpa, and Slendrina simultaneously.
