SchoolBoy Runaway


SchoolBoy Runaway is a 3D stealth puzzle game where players help a schoolboy secretly escape from a tightly controlled home. After failing a test, the boy is locked inside, constantly monitored by his parents. You must guide him to safety by sneaking through rooms, solving puzzles, and avoiding detection.

Explore the house and find interactive items

The house includes multiple floors, narrow corridors, and hidden spots. Players must examine drawers, windows, closets, and vents to locate tools such as:

  • Keys: Unlock doors blocking your escape.
  • Tools: Screwdrivers, pliers, and gears used to remove or disarm obstacles.
  • Distractions: Alarm clocks and speakers to draw attention elsewhere.
  • Hiding spots: Wardrobes, boxes, under beds, and ventilation shafts.

Noise detection and stealth behavior

The game uses AI-based detection systems that respond to noise and movement. Running, slamming doors, or dropping objects increases your risk of being caught. To succeed, you must close doors quietly, hide immediately after suspicious actions, and crouch to reduce your noise footprint. If spotted, you must quickly retreat to a nearby hiding spot.

Logical puzzles and item combination

  • Arrange objects in a specific order to open safes.
  • Find codes hidden in the environment to unlock secure areas.
  • Combine everyday items into custom tools to create new escape routes.

Tiny mode: escape at any size

A special mode in SchoolBoy Runaway shrinks the boy to the size of an ant. This opens up new gameplay mechanics:

  • Hide inside drawers and tight shelves without being noticed.
  • Climb furniture using parkour and enhanced jumping.
  • Evade the father character, entirely cannot see tiny-sized players.
  • Collect special items to grow back to full size or unlock alternate exits.
  • Perform a final escape by diving into hay piles outside the house.
