Seventeen minutes after midnight, an old station locker opens. Inside are six cue tickets and a recording none of the crew remembers making together.

FESTIVAL · 23:58
Music Festival at 23:58: The Unlisted Set

AFTER CLOSE · 03:16
Gaming Convention at 03:16: Player Zero
After the hall closes, a disconnected arcade cabinet replays a final nobody played. Beside it lie six convention badges and a seventh with no name.
COMING SOONWhy bring a case to the table?
A ready-made reason to get everyone together.
You do not have to invent the plan for the evening. Choose a story, print the files and give your group a mystery worth talking about.
-
01
The evening has a story from the start.
Instead of asking what to do, you open the first file and step into the same mystery together.
-
02
Nobody has to sit outside the game.
There is no host. Everyone plays a character, examines the evidence and has a voice in the final accusation.
-
03
The conversation happens around the table.
Compare clues, challenge each other’s ideas and build one version of events. No app is needed during play.
-
04
You reach the ending in one meeting.
Each case is a complete 60-75 minute story, so the group gets both the investigation and its answer that evening.
02 · Choose your hero
Who will you be in this story?
The same crew returns in every case. Choose the person whose way of investigating suits you best - or draw the character cards at random.These bars help you choose a hero. They describe how each person usually investigates; they do not add bonuses or change the difficulty.

03 · From case file to game night
Choose it. Print it. Meet up. Solve it.
You are buying a digital game file, not a physical box. Download the open case and begin the evening in four simple steps.
- 01
Choose a story.
Open the case that fits the evening you want to spend together. Every case is a complete story.
- 02
Buy, download and print.
After purchase, download the digital files and print the selected A4 or US Letter version.
- 03
Meet up with friends.
Gather 2-6 people, choose your heroes and place the opening documents on the table.
- 04
Run the investigation.
Read the evidence, connect the clues and agree on one team verdict before opening the solution.
Scene Unlocks · online or offline
The evidence stays on paper. The story can break out of it.
At three planned moments, the case file gives you a QR code and a passcode. Scan it to open a full-screen comic scene - never a required answer checker.
- 01
Spoiler-safe by design
A QR link only highlights the right locked card. Nothing opens until the group enters the printed passcode.
- 02
No connection required
Every package also contains one self-contained HTML file with the same scenes, images and gates. Open it in any browser, even offline.
- 03
The printed game remains complete
All evidence needed to solve the case and the full written solution stay in the PDFs. Scene Unlocks add atmosphere, dialogue and a post-verdict payoff.
04 · Before your friends arrive
What do you need besides a printer?
No costumes, props or preparation from a host. For Case 01, set aside these five things.
-
01
Printer and paper
Print pages 1-19 single-sided in A4 or US Letter. The 25-page player file also includes six optional, spoiler-free hero stories. Hints and solution are a separate 7-page PDF.
-
02
Scissors
Cut the six hero cards, response slips and private leads on five clearly marked sheets. No craft knife is needed.
-
03
Pens and table space
Use the printouts as working documents: write on them, circle details and move the evidence around.
-
04
2-6 people and about 60-75 minutes
Everyone plays. Nobody needs to know the story or prepare a script before the meeting. For a first setup, allow about 20 minutes to print, cut five sheets and arrange three piles.
-
05
Three evidence piles and Scene Unlocks
Leave pages 7-9 face up. Prepare piles A (10-11), B (12-13) and C (14-15). Keep pages 16-19 face down. The QR codes open optional comic scenes; without a connection, use the included one-file HTML.
05 · What happens at the table
One crew. One investigation. One final answer.
Yes, you read - but not a long instruction manual. You read messages, plans, notes and records aloud, then use them to decide what happened.
-
01
Read the opening together
The first message introduces the situation. From that moment, everyone investigates and there is no host.
-
02
Choose investigation roles
All six spoiler-free hero cards stay in play. In a smaller group, one person holds more than one hero and later reads each matching private lead.
-
03
Open one pile at a time
Work on the visible evidence. Open the next pile only after the group agrees on the checkpoint answer.
-
04
Mark what matters
Write on the copies, compare times, connect people and move documents next to each other.
-
05
Take a hint if needed
Three hint levels let you reveal a small push first and a clearer answer only if you still need it.
-
06
Reveal private leads after pile C
No single lead gives away the solution. Read all six together, eliminate the remaining alternatives and write one team verdict.
