Granny — the survival horror that locks you in.
Five days. One house. A grandmother with hearing sharp enough to catch a dropped key from two rooms away. Hide, sneak, or run.
What Granny is, in one read
Granny is a first-person survival horror game from DVloper. You wake up locked inside a creaky house with a grandmother who is far from sweet. You get five days to escape, and one rule rules everything: stay quiet. Drop a glass, slam a door, or bump a chair and she comes sprinting. The scares come from sound, not cheap jump cuts, and that is why the game has stayed on the Play Store horror charts since 2017.
The official build is free on Google Play, with ads between attempts and in-app purchases for cosmetic extras. The modded build on this page is the same game with the menu opened up, the friction smoothed out, and the difficulty toggles unlocked so you can set the tone for the night you are in. Go easy when you just want to learn the routes and map the house. Crank it up when you want your pulse pounding.
What this mod unlocks
-
Mod menu on the pause screen
One in-game toggle drawer for the cheats below, so you do not have to restart a run to change the rules.
-
God mode and frozen Granny
Toggle invulnerability or freeze the AI in place when you want to explore a room you have never had the time to study.
-
Unlocked difficulty tiers
Practice, Easy, Hard, and Extreme are all available from the start — no need to clear the early modes first to access the higher tiers.
-
No interstitial ads
The between-run video ads that the free Play Store build serves are stripped, so retry attempts start instantly.
-
Achievements left intact
The base game achievements still trigger so progress feels earned, but the mod menu cheats are opt-in per run.

Granny sits on the same shelf as the long-tail survival and modded-arcade horror builds we cover elsewhere on the site. If you have already cleared all four difficulty tiers and want a different flavor of pressure, our PUBG Mobile original guide covers the other big Android survival format. One hundred players, a shrinking circle, and the same heart-pounding lookout rhythm, just out in the open instead of a closed house. If you want that tension with a weapon in your hands, the Shadow Fight 2 mod opens its full move set without the months-long grind, and the Stick War: Legacy mod swaps stealth for army-vs-army survival across every campaign level. For a wider catalog built around the same low-friction, high-stakes loop, our main site rounds up competitive Clash Royale strategy guides and cloud-gaming workarounds for Roblox if your device cannot handle the install.
