About the game

What you do in a play session

The Great Falls museum has been robbed! The priceless Midnight Crown vanished during a cultural event, leaving only a trail of mysteries. Now it's up to you and your team of amateur detectives: grab your phones, tablets, and investigative minds, because this case will demand all that and more. You'll analyze documents, compare fingerprints, verify alibis, and even make actual phone calls to crack the case. The game blends board gaming with technology – you can play part today and continue tomorrow, like an investigative series. Just don't expect something simple: the village hides dirty secrets, and every clue might lead to unexpected twists. Perfect for groups who enjoy intellectual challenges and don't mind spending hours connecting dots (literally, since internet is required). Younger kids can participate, but the core game is really for ages 14+.
