About this app
Editor Reviews
HFG Entertainments turns a college ghost story into a conspiracy thriller in Halloween: Secret of Shadow, an escape-room Puzzle game. A group of friends believes they are being haunted after a tragic incident at their college, but the investigation reveals that the girl who died had a twin and that the apparitions were hallucinations caused by drugs. Someone has been manipulating them, and working out who and why drives the plot.
Play follows the escape-room pattern: explore haunted rooms, gather hidden objects, find codes and solve riddles to unlock the next area. The listing highlights several puzzle types built around the horror theme. Cursed objects such as dolls, mirrors and paintings must be placed in the right order or spot; eerie whispers and distorted sounds hide numbers or words; candles and lanterns must be arranged so their shadows form a symbol; and ritual items have to be laid out correctly to summon a spirit that offers a clue, along with a scare. There are 50 levels spread across multiple locations.
The game rates 4.5 from 4,256 ratings, with 68% five stars and just 2% one star, and has 100,000+ installs. It is free with ads, and in-app purchases run from $0.49 to $19.99 per item. It was updated very recently, on 2026-09-18. Android 7.0 or newer is required, it is rated Teen, and we list 1 version, 2.3.
Escape-room fans who like a story with twists alongside their puzzles have a good option here. Younger players and anyone who dislikes jump scares may want something gentler.

03 How do I install the APK?
Download the file from the version page, open it on your Android device and allow installs from this source when prompted. XAPK bundles need the APKPure app or a split-APK installer (see the install guide in the footer). Always prefer the latest version unless you specifically need an older build.

Files come from our download library or external sources and are not modified by us. Check the package name (com.hfg.SecretofShadow) and developer before installing.
05 How do I get my account back?

06 How do I cancel a subscription?
Subscriptions bought through Google Play are managed in the Play Store under Payments and subscriptions; purchases made inside the app follow the developer's own billing.

Appmello never charges for downloads, so there is nothing to refund here. Refunds for in-app purchases are handled by Google Play or by the developer. Never enter payment details on any page claiming to be a download step.

Open the app after installing; it works exactly like the Play Store build. For feature questions see the developer's help pages, as Appmello only distributes the installer.
