What it is about

One victim. One house. One ancient curse. Six suspects. Michael Thornridge is found at his desk, throat slit. There is a case file of dead end clues, a locked safe, and no witnesses. The detectives are baffled, and it’s up to you to catch the murderer. Can you solve the case? For one or more players ages 12 and up. Playing time approximately 2 hours. Simply print the PDFs and solve the case! ***Please note: this game is a digital download with PDFs to print. It won’t look or feel as fancy as a boxed cold case mystery you can buy at the store. That’s why it’s a low price!*** This is not a role-playing murder mystery game. This is a downloadable case file with clues to locate & solve. Players will need access to a printer. It is highly encouraged to print the case file. The case file is 29 pages. Players will need access to the internet to solve the mystery. A desktop or laptop is recommended. Difficulty Level: Medium 50% of test players described the difficulty level as hard, while the other 50% of test players described the difficulty level as medium. For simplicity, this mystery will be labeled as Difficulty Level: Medium. However, this is very subjective. What is difficult for some players may be easy for you. Please keep this in mind. This is the perfect activity for date night, game night, girls’ night, a quiet night in bed thinking about murder, bachelorette parties, and more! The suggested minimum age is 12, because of the amount of reading and patience required. There is no explicit content in this case file. However, this mystery is about murder and includes dark themes, including but not limited to: greed, jealousy, and addiction.
