What do I need to play?

All that is required is an internet connection. As much of the gameplay will take place across social media, you will need to have your own personal accounts to view and engage with relevant platforms.

Do I need to purchase the packages in order to play?

No. Pictures of Gwen is free to enjoy – the monthly packages will offer a ‘first look’ and delve deeper into Gwen’s world but the core experience will be accessible to all, free of charge.

Is this a time based ‘escape’ game?

While Pictures of Gwen features puzzles and takes place in real time, you can, and should, play at your own pace. We encourage you to spend time exploring our carefully crafted world.

How many players is this for?

Although many will enjoy playing Pictures of Gwen solo, it is our opinion that for the best experience you should join our welcoming online community and play in collaboration with other players and friends.

Will this experience require me to be contacted directly (ie by phone/email)?

If you are contacted by anyone in a way that seems unexpected to you you should assume it is not part of our experience.

What do I do if I have a problem?
