Honestly, one of the best mystery games I have ever played. From the clues to the plot to the final twist, everything was excellent. Highly recommend.
The cases are really well thought out. It took us a while but we cracked it... Such a great way to spend a different Saturday night, we were all hooked
We printed everything and laid the whole case out on the table! The experience is amazing, my boyfriend could not decode a single clue, we laughed the whole time
Not as easy as we thought. It really put us to the test, a 10/10 experience.
Great plan to do with your partner, friends or family! Loved it

In a harbor town where nothing ever happens, two respected neighbours die within weeks of each other. The police call it bad luck. You are not so sure.
Case 03Disappearance
The Vanishing at Fenwick Lane
At the Fenwick house, everyone swears they saw nothing that night. Five people tell the same story with suspicious precision. One small detail does not match.
Case 04Murder
Blackwater Point
At Blackwater Point the tide carries things away. When it brings them back, the story no longer matches. The report says accident. The shoreline says otherwise.
Case 05Locked room
The Last Chapter
A bestselling crime novelist is found dead in a hotel suite locked from the inside, the night before her final book was due. The manuscript is gone. Its last chapter was about a murder in a locked room.
Case 06Poisoning
Till Death at Ashford Manor
The best man collapses halfway through his toast at a lavish country wedding. 140 guests, one champagne tower, and a bride who looks more relieved than shocked.
Case 07Whodunit
Snowbound at Elk Ridge
A blizzard cuts a mountain lodge off from the world. By morning the owner lies dead below the chairlift, and the only footprints in the fresh snow lead nowhere. Nine guests, no way down until the roads reopen.
Case 08Heist
The Gala Job
A $9 million painting vanishes from a Chicago gallery during a charity gala, and the night guard is found dead inside the vault. Nobody left the building. Everyone had a reason to want that painting gone.

Twenty-five years ago, prom queen Cassie Doyle vanished on graduation night. At the class reunion, someone leaves her yearbook on the welcome table, with a fresh message signed in her handwriting.
Case 10Murder
Dead Air
At 1:12 a.m. a caller confesses, live on air, to a murder that has not happened yet. Forty minutes later the station owner is found dead in the parking lot. The call came from inside the building.
Case 11Serial killer
The Night Shift
Four patients die in a single night at a small-town hospital, all of natural causes, says the chart. The fifth survives, and remembers a nurse whose name is on no roster.
Case 12Arson
Ashes on Maple Street
A house fire kills a city councilman two days before the vote on a million-dollar rezoning deal. The fire marshal says faulty wiring. The burn pattern says someone poured a line from the back door.
Case 13Murder
Last One Standing
Day 21 of a survival reality show on a private island. The fan favorite is found dead in the confession booth while the cameras were off for exactly eleven minutes. Six contestants, one producer, and footage someone cut.
Case 14Murder at sea
The Captain's Table
One night out of Miami, a tech billionaire goes overboard from a private deck no one else can reach. The crew calls it a tragic fall. His suite was booked for two, and no one on board admits to being the second guest.
Case 15Season finale
The Curator's Last File
For years she sent you every cold case. This time the file on the Curator's desk carries her own name, and a date that has not happened yet. The file she never wanted opened.
Case 16Train
Sleeper Car 7
Overnight from Chicago to Seattle, a retired judge never wakes up in roomette 7. Five passengers shared his car, and every one of them can account for every station stop. Almost.
Case 17Murder
Opening Night
Opening night at a Chicago theater. The star takes one sip from the prop glass and collapses in front of a full house. The understudy, the director, the ex-husband: everyone backstage wanted her spotlight.
Case 18Tech
The Smart House
A tech founder dies alone in a Lake Tahoe house that records everything: every door, every light, every word. The logs say nobody came in. One of those logs was written by someone else.
Case 19Hurricane
Eye of the Storm
A Key West hotel locks its doors for a hurricane. When the eye passes over, the owner is found at the bottom of the pool. Five people trapped inside, and a storm that was supposed to wash everything away.
Case 20Cold case
The Last Carnival
In 1988 the fortune teller of a traveling carnival vanished somewhere in Kansas. Decades later, her bones turn up under the foundations of the old Ferris wheel. Someone in the troupe always knew where she was.
Case 21Scotland
The Angels' Share
On a tiny Hebridean island, the master distiller is found dead at the bottom of a fermentation vat. The last ferry had already sailed. Whoever did it never left the island.
Case 22New Orleans
Closing Time
After a busy night service in the French Quarter, a celebrated chef is found frozen to death in his own walk-in. A faulty latch, said the report. The kitchen tickets tell another story.
Case 23Yorkshire
The Glorious Twelfth
Opening day of the grouse season on a North Yorkshire moor. During a drive, a guest is killed by a stray shot. The inquest said accident. The peg draw and one cartridge say otherwise.
Case 24Reno
Checkmate
A chess grandmaster loses the game of his life, then falls from the terrace of his casino suite. Ruled suicide. Every move of the tournament was recorded to the second, and so was every lie.
Case 25Arizona
Dark Sky
Under the darkest sky in Arizona, an astronomer is crushed by the rotating dome of her own observatory. A mechanical failure, said the report. Very few people knew how that dome really worked.
Case 26London 1974
Last Orders at the Blue Room
Soho, 1974. A jazz legend is shot dead in a basement club after closing time. A robbery gone wrong, said the police. Half a century later, the last witnesses each still hold one piece of the truth.
Case 27Film set
Stunt Double
On a western set in a New Mexico ghost town, a stuntwoman dies during a high fall. Rigging error, said the inquiry. Four cameras filmed the take, and no two of them show the same thing.
Case 28Village mystery
Best in Show
A Cotswolds summer fΓͺte: bunting, a tombola and a baking judge the whole village feared. She collapses in the produce tent. Her heart, said the doctor. Half the village had a reason.
Case 29Highlands
Whiteout
A winter ascent in the Scottish Highlands. In a whiteout, the mountain guide falls to his death. A cornice gave way, ruled the inquiry. So why was his rope cut so clean?
Case 30Final file
Brody
For twenty-nine files, Cal Brody solved other people's pasts. This time the Curator opens his: the night his partner died, and the whispers that he was to blame. The hardest case in the archive.
