How it works

Three moves to close a case

  1. Read the ending

    Every case starts where the story stops: a strange ending that makes no sense yet.

  2. Ask yes or no

    The Game Master answers yes, no or a shade in between, and never says more than that.

    1 token a question

  3. Crack the case

    Every right question lights up a clue. When you have it, write the whole solution in one message.

    First hint free, then 3 tokens
