[4] Henry Stauf, the main antagonist from The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour is a toymaker with a dark and disturbed imagination inclined toward the macabre and the deadly.

In Uncle Henry's Playhouse Stauf has created a twisted dollhouse, the 12 rooms of which he has furnished with miniaturized puzzles from his previous mansions.

Uncle Henry's Playhouse plays like the other two games in the series employing a simple point-and-click interface for 13 puzzles.

Unlike the previous 11th Hour, there is no option to skip puzzles that the player finds too challenging although tips are available from the foyer.

Fortunes reversed in 1996 and with millions of dollars tied up in development of the game Tender Loving Care, Trilobyte found itself running very low on finances by mid-1996.

In light of this, the decision was made that a third member of the 7th Guest series should be released to generate much-needed funds.
