Marked for Murder

Something is afoot between the pages of this book. A murder has taken place—quietly, invisibly—while you read. You are the detective. With nothing but a bookmark, a sharp eye, and the words on the page, you’ll uncover motives, test alibis, and follow a trail of ink and implication toward the truth. Every pause in your reading is a chance to investigate. Every page might lie. What is this game? Marked for Murder is a bookmark-sized game you play while you read. As you move through the book, you pluck names from its pages to mark a victim and five suspects. Returning to them again and again, you interpret found words as motives, alibis, and deaths—clearing the innocent, exposing deceptions, and watching new murders unfold. By the time you close the book, only one suspect remains to be framed as the killer. Credits ► This game was made possible by the support of my amazing patrons.
