## Description
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+.

## FAQ
### Is internet required?
Yes! Part of the investigation involves online research and receiving phone messages.

### Can kids play?
Best for ages 14+. Younger children can help with simple tasks but will miss complex parts.

### How many sessions to finish?
Depends on the group! Average 2-3 hours, but you can split it – the game allows pauses.

### Do I need to print anything?
Nope, everything's in the box. Just ensure phones/tablets with internet for digital parts.

### Is it replayable?
Not much – like a mystery novel, the fun is in discovering the truth. But you can lend it to other groups!
