Your Questions Answered
Is this suitable for beginners?
This interactive murder mystry is designed for all skill levels. Whether you’re new to detective work or a seasoned pro, you’re sure to enjoy flexing your sluething muscles. Plus, if you get to 24th December and you can’t figure out who dunnit, don’t worry! You’ll have the opportunity to ask for hints and have a second chance at guessing the correct answer if you get it wrong.
Is this suitable for children?
The story explored in this interactive murder mystery, while lighter than what you’d find in my books, still explores some adult themes, so is not suitable for those under 12. Over 12, parental discretion is advised.
Can this murder mystery be played more than once?
Once you have directly identified the culprit, you won’t be able to enjoy the full experience again. However, upon completing the murder mystery you will receive a discount voucher for future murder mystery releases.
Can I play this with others?
Absolutely! Members of the same household can share an account and work through the evidence together. If you’d like to play alongside another household, or you’d like to compete with others, they will need to purchase their own separate account. Once you’ve purchased yours, you will see a code that friends and family can use to get 50% off.
How long does it last?
There will be one new piece of evidence released every day, so, if you’re playing in real-time, the mystery will take 24 days to complete.
How long will I have access to the game?
By purchasing this game, you will receive lifetime access to the membership portal which contains all clues, evidence and material, meaning you can take as long as you’d like to solve the mystery.
