For two players, take turns reading evidence and compare your deductions. For solo play, keep your notes beside the casebook. With three or four players, share the evidence and agree on an answer before moving on. Everyone can investigate: no one needs to know the solution in advance.
What comes in the download?
Your ZIP includes an illustrated player PDF, a matching full-art print edition, separate hints, separate solutions and START_HERE instructions. Six connected questions guide the story, with up to two hints per question. Keep the solutions closed until you are ready.
Is this an escape room?
It shares the pleasures of deciphering clues and solving connected puzzles, but it is a detective case-file game. There is no physical room, countdown lock or interactive online player. You work at your own pace with a PDF reader, paper and a pen.
