In "Granny", players will have to search for various items to help them escape the house. These items include keys, hammers, and other tools that can be useful during the escape

These challenge classes sound amazing! Competing with different breeds and showing versatility reminds me of Crossy Road in a fresh way—each horse and rider have to navigate their own unique path, adapting to new challenges along the way, and the payoff comes from skillful timing and coordination. Looks like a lot of fun for everyone involved
