100% · 30 DAYS · NO QUESTIONS
DEBRIEF

The questions you were going to ask.

No. Case #001 is fiction, written by professional mystery authors to be fair-play solvable. We're not touching real victims or families.

Yes. Physical packets. Witness statements on period-accurate paper, photos, coded letters, fabric samples. No app, no digital component.

Six months, at the pace of one packet every two weeks. You can go faster if you binge — most people don't want to.

It's true-crime fiction. Think Knives Out, not Mindhunter. Our audience is book clubs, couples on date night, and people who finish every Crime Junkie episode on 2x.

Worldwide. Australia & US free shipping. International is $15 per packet shipped. We quote exact shipping at checkout.

Every packet includes a sealed hint envelope. Don't open it unless you want to. The solve is yours — we just make the puzzle.

The door closes at midnight.

Be inside when it does.
