What it is about

On reopening night at a coastal museum, the director is found dead in the private wing. Four members of staff have access. Compare their accounts, examine the records and build an explanation that fits the evidence. Last Light at Bellwether is a compact, introductory case-file mystery for one to four adults. Read the initial evidence, form your theory, then open a second set of records to test it. When you are ready, compare your answers with the complete solution. Good for a solo detective night, a printable murder mystery game for two adults at home, or a small group of up to four adults, like a Friendsgiving game night. No host, no acting roles and no props.
