This Conjuring Unspoken walkthrough guides you through every investigation phase, equipment puzzle, and critical dialogue choice across the haunted Red Lion Inn. Developed as a narrative horror title for Netflix Games, the experience puts you in control of demonologist Francesca "Fran" Noakes as she assists the grieving Cooper family. The main screen displays the narrative on your TV or computer browser, while your synced smartphone or tablet acts as the controller to make timed choices and operate paranormal tools.
Because the game emphasizes narrative progression over combat stats, moving forward requires inspecting highlighted objects, scanning environments with the proper device, and completing specific interactions before reaching the story finale.
Core Controls and Investigation Mechanics
Interacting with the story requires understanding how phone inputs translate to on-screen actions. When presented with branching dialogue or split-second actions, swipe and hold left or right on your mobile screen. Some encounters feature timed meters; if you do not register a swipe before time expires, the game automatically selects an option for you.
When searching rooms, environmental cues dictate what can be inspected:
- Glowing Objects: Walk near interactive items to pick them up, then physically tilt or rotate your mobile controller to examine them from all angles.
- Yellow Outline Objects: These items mark points of no return. Interacting with a yellow-bordered object seals off previously explored rooms and advances the investigation to the next phase.
- Hidden Secrets: Optional lore documents and objects are hidden across the inn. Access the pause menu on the top right of your mobile screen and tap "Secrets" to check your discovery log.
Equipment Overview and Clue Matching
Progression puzzles require matching your equipment to specific supernatural phenomena. If a tool fails to register readings, swap devices rather than scanning the same empty space repeatedly.
| Tool | Primary Purpose | How to Read Feedback | Best Investigation Moment |
|---|---|---|---|
| EMF Reader | Detects local electromagnetic disruptions | Gauge shifts from base levels to yellow, peaking at green when nearing high activity | Checking physical points where sudden thumps or cold movement occur |
| Infrared Camera | Visualizes temperature patterns and unseen anomalies | Living figures appear in warm hues; supernatural disturbances render in cool blue, purple, or deep dark spots | Scanning walls, furniture, or suspicious objects like dolls and paintings |
| Spirit Box / Radio Device | Captures paranormal audio and spirit communication | Audio produces static by default; distinct signals, speech, or tonal shifts indicate spirit activity | Scanning rooms immediately after vocal whispers, footsteps, or breathing sounds |
Phase 1: Arrival at Red Lion Inn and Equipment Calibration
The story begins after the tragic road death of Olivia Cooper. Her widower, Jack Cooper, moves into the centuries-old Red Lion Inn to carry out renovations, accompanied by his two young daughters: Charlotte and Briany (Bry), the latter of whom has stopped speaking entirely since the accident.
- Arrive at the Inn: Introduce Francesca Noakes, representing the New England Society for Psychic Research, to the skeptical father.
- Calibrate the Infrared Camera: Point your camera at Francesca. Living subjects display in warm tones. Sweep the camera across the room to verify that supernatural activity registers in deep cool tones (blues and purples).
- Calibrate the Spirit Box / Radio Device: Wave the device across the room. Listen for static baseline adjustments to learn how unnatural signal spikes manifest.
- Examine Briany's Drawings: Inspect the sketchbook artwork, specifically the picnic memory depicting Olivia before the move, to understand the emotional anchor tying the spirit world to the family.
Phase 2: Night Exploration and The First Haunting
After the family retires to bed, nighttime disturbances begin throughout the inn's corridors.
- Follow the Audio Cues: Listen through your controller audio for heavy breathing, footsteps, and the sound of an automated music box.
- Investigate the Children's Bedroom: Enter Briany's room. You will encounter options to hide under the covers or investigate the room. Choosing to investigate prompts a search of the open window, leading to cold breath manifestations.
- Witness the Levitation Event: Track the moving shadows toward the door. You will encounter the physical presence choking Briany as she levitates above the floor before Jack and Charlotte rush into the room.
- De-escalate Jack: Jack reacts with hostility toward Francesca's warnings. Choose dialogue options expressing an earnest desire to assist the girls to earn a final chance to conduct a group session.
Phase 3: The Collective Memory Séance and Basement Descent
Francesca attempts to break the entity's hold by gathering Jack, Charlotte, and Briany to channel collective positive memories of Olivia.
- Initiate the Circle: Instruct the family to close their eyes and focus on Olivia's warmth and memory.
- The Seance Disruption: The session breaks down when an apparition manipulates the connection, forcing hostile visions. Francesca hears the repeated accusation: "Murderer."
- Inspect the Distorted Painting: Approach the hanging portrait in the hall. Notice the shifting eyes and examine the canvas to locate the path leading down toward the foundation.
- Explore the Well in the Basement: Navigate through the cellar arches until you reach the covered stone well. Use the directional puzzle sequence prompted on your controller screen (Up, Down, Down, followed by Up, Down, Up, Down) to uncover the historical remains.
- Uncover the Inn's History: Evidence reveals that a woman named Florrie was murdered centuries ago at the site, and her restless spirit has been bound to the location alongside an ancient entity.
Phase 4: Confrontation and Exorcism Finale
Following the basement discovery, Francesca warns Jack that fleeing is futile: demonic attachments cling like stepping on gum, and leaving will result in Briany's death. Francesca reveals her past training alongside Ed and Lorraine Warren, recounting a prior exorcism that left her hospitalized with broken bones when an entity weaponized her personal grief.
- Pursue Briany into the Caverns: Briany goes missing, drawn toward the deep cavern paths beneath the inn. Guide Francesca through the subterranean passage.
- Locate the Marked Child: Discover Briany resting near the rock face, displaying supernatural markings.
- Identify the Demon: Confront the entity using its true name: the demon Vinea. Acknowledge that the ghost Florrie was merely an early victim manipulated by the demonic force.
- Perform the Exorcism: Return to the inn's living area to find Briany under violent demonic control, wielding a knife.
- Command Jack to appeal to Briany's internal voice rather than brute physical force.
- Begin the formal Latin exorcism rites ("Insidiosus... Liberant...").
- Recite the binding command directly addressing Vinea to dismantle its hold over the child's grief.
- Resolution: Briany breaks the demonic grip by speaking aloud, repeating her mother's morning rhyme ("Wakey wakey, rise and shine, time to leave the night behind"). The demonic presence dissolves, freeing both the Cooper family and Florrie's spirit from the Red Lion Inn.
Troubleshooting Progression and Stuck Objectives
If your narrative progress stops advancing during an exploration phase at Red Lion Inn, use this troubleshooting order:
- Check the Latest Dialogue Cue: Characters frequently mention specific rooms, tools, or items right before free movement begins. If no waypoint appears, head to the last room mentioned in conversation.
- Inspect Every Angle: Certain glowing items must be rotated fully with your mobile device before the interaction registers as solved.
- Cycle Your Tools: If an area shows faint paranormal signs but nothing triggers, switch between the EMF reader, infrared camera, and Spirit Box. Equipment puzzles only advance when probed by the specific matching device.
- Reconnect the Mobile Controller: If swipe choices do not register during timed prompts, open your mobile device's connection screen, verify the local network link with your TV or browser, and resume the Netflix game session.
