Case dossier
Kelly Waters had her brother Gregory committed after connecting him to three disappearances. Through the facility's pen-pal program, Gregory starts writing to you. This isn't a whodunit; you know exactly who did it. What you don't know is where he buried the bodies, and he's happy to tell you, one coded package at a time.
We are legally required to say it's solvable. It is. Technically. The first case in a new premium trilogy, built for those Detectives that need the ultimate challenge.
Free on U.S. orders over $59 (some exclusions apply). Otherwise flat-rate at checkout. Ships in 2 business days. 30-day money-back guarantee — self-service portal, no hostage negotiation required.

Before you commit
The questions everyone asks.
Is this going to be too hard for me?
No. The puzzles reward close reading and a clear timeline, not trivia or math. If you get stuck, our free online Hints & Reveals page walks you through it one nudge at a time — no spoilers unless you ask for them.
Can I play solo, or do I need a group?
Both work. It's a co-op case for 1 to 6. Solo is a focused couple of hours. Nobody competes — you're all on the same side, which is the only time that's ever true at game night.
How long does it take?
About 90 minutes to two hours. Most people do it in one sitting; some split it across two nights. There's no clock and nothing expires — pause whenever, the body will keep.
Do I need the internet to play?
Some cases include a digital component — a website or online evidence you access as part of the story. Any phone, tablet, or laptop works, and everything you need to log in is inside the box.
Is this a subscription?
No. One box, one case, one payment. Solve it and you own a very strange coffee-table object forever. Want the next one? You come back and buy the next one.
Does it make a good gift?
Alarmingly good. Use gift mode at checkout to add a recipient name, schedule the delivery, and hide the price. It reads as thoughtful and slightly unhinged, which is the correct gift.
