How to Play

Every mystery tells a story, packed full of clues to solve, plus a few red herrings…

  • Enter the game through the first item – usually a welcome card, letter or police report. You’ll be asked crucial questions, such as: Who is the victim? What is the murder weapon? And most importantly, who is the murderer?

  • Now, down to business! Spread the items out in front of you and inspect each vintage clue – they could be newspapers, maps, postcards or passports. Get to know the cast of characters and look for patterns and connections.

  • The game is like an at-home escape room with different types of clues. Test your wits as you solve word and visual clues, crack codes, and decipher logic puzzles. But you’ll need to use your powers of deduction to uncover the mystery…

Need a little help? Don’t be shy about using the hints! These will be either online or in an envelope. There are several layers of hints, so you can find help without giving the game away.

Let the sleuthing begin!
