Printable mystery games for people who like to work things out.
Every case is a stack of 1960s-style evidence: witness statements, switchboard logs, coded diaries, torn-up letters. You sort through it, catch the lies and name the killer. Print at home or play on a tablet. No app, no host, no special knowledge needed; every clue is on the page.
Now open: The Hollowmere Case, a 24-day murder mystery advent calendar. One clue a day from December 1, and you name the killer on Christmas Eve.
