About this game
A 60-second horror escape challenge.
Every run begins with one minute on the clock. Find the keys, escape the basement and avoid Mr. HappyFunFace before time runs out. Key locations change every run, turning every failure into a lesson and every escape into a faster one. Master the maze, optimize your route and see if you can survive the twisted experiment.
Mr. HappyFunFace blends psychological horror with fast-paced replayability. Short runs make every attempt meaningful as you master the maze, refine your route and chase the perfect escape.
Dr. Edmund Vale, once a celebrated child psychologist, believed society was rotting on a diet of screens and endless entertainment. His answer was Mr HappyFunFace, a grotesque figure designed to shock children into presence and focus. Branded cruel and dangerous, Vale’s career collapsed.
Decades later, warped by isolation, he has turned his theories into a religion. You are now one of many subjects to be tested in his most extreme and brutally difficult experiment yet.
