Games/Murder Mystery

An online murder mystery your team solves together

There's a body at Blackthorn Hall. Your team are the detectives, and every one of you holds different evidence: a witness statement, a page of the ledger, what was found in the cellar.

Nobody reads from a script or plays a character. You search the rooms, read your evidence out, argue about who was where, and accuse together. Name the wrong person and the culprit walks.

How it plays

From link to leaderboard.

01

The Body

What happened, where, and the first pieces of evidence, split across the team.

02

The Cartouche and The Ledger

Search the house room by room. Each detective's finds only make sense next to someone else's.

03

The Reconstruction

Put the timeline together: who could have walked which route through the house, and when.

04

The Accusation

The team proposes a name and backs it. Lock it in and find out if you were right.

Who sees what

Different screen, same call.

Everyone plays on their own laptop and sees something nobody else does. That’s the whole trick: the only way through is to talk.

Your evidence
Each detective's dossier is different. Nobody has the whole case.
The house
A floor plan of Blackthorn Hall. Only a couple of detectives fit in a room at once, so the team has to split up.
Hints
Four hints per team, so a stuck team can keep moving without the answer being handed over.
