Questions, Detective?

1-10 players works best. Solo detectives love the focus; couples make it a date night; groups split the evidence and argue about suspects. There's no turn-taking: everyone investigates together.
Every case includes a free hints system that gives progressively more obvious nudges, from gentle prod to major lead, plus a full solution reveal. You'll never be left hanging.
Each case is a one-time experience, like an escape room, which is exactly why the bundle discount exists. Most detectives finish one and immediately want the next: 2 cases save 10%, 3 save 15%, 4+ save 20%.
