Editorial and Evidence Policy

Four evidence levels

A source link alone does not make a third-party claim official. Page copy states the boundary when exact steps have not been reproduced.

Official

House House, Panic, or a platform owner

Reported

Named third-party guide or publication

Observed

Reproduced in the current game build

Editorial

Practical advice, not a game-mechanic claim

Publication workflow

• Identify the reader's task and the exact answer the page promises.
• Check official FAQ, press kit, store, and platform sources first.
• Use named third-party reporting only where official material is silent.
• Do not infer exact puzzle steps, rewards, compatibility, or achievement conditions from snippets.
• Add a source list, evidence note, related guides, and last verification date before publishing.

First-hand testing

Observed claims require a reproducible current-build test, including platform, game version, host or guest role, and the steps that produced the result. Screenshots can support a test but do not replace the written conditions.

Corrections and updates

• Official changes override older reporting.
• Material edits update modified and verification dates.
• Broken links are replaced with an archived or newer authoritative source when possible.
• A page that cannot satisfy its title is narrowed, relabeled, or held back rather than padded with guesses.

Media and independence

Official press-kit media and properly attributed reference screenshots may be used to explain the game. Images are not presented as site-owned when they are not. Editorial coverage is independent, and the site does not claim affiliation with House House or Panic.
