CASE FILE NO. 001STATUS: UNSOLVED
The case
Every murder leaves
three unanswered questions.
Somewhere on the table, a weapon, a suspect, and a motive are hidden in plain sight.
02
The suspect
Who had something to hide?
03
The motive
And most importantly, what drove the deed?
How it unfolds
Two phases.
One truth.
The investigation
Draw cards, deploy actions, trade hidden evidence, and gather information the other investigators never see.
The theory
Present a theory. Challenge someone else’s. The first investigator whose answer cannot be disproved wins.
What makes it different
The truth is never
simply handed to you.
Every clue reshapes the investigation. Every decision changes what the other investigators know.
01Read what others reveal
Watch the card backs, track public information, and work out what the other investigators might be holding.
02Keep your evidence hidden
Certain cards stay face-down, concealing information the other players would very much like to uncover.
03Trade for a better lead
Make offers for hidden evidence. The right exchange can crack the case—or walk you straight into a trap.
04Outplay their next move
Use card actions to investigate, disrupt, or take information, while watching for the counters that can stop you.
05Use your investigator’s edge
Every character has a different ability, creating new opportunities to expose evidence or change the pace.
06Challenge every theory
Name the weapon, suspect, and motive. One matching card can disprove the entire theory.
Inside the deck
Every card has
a part to play.
Weapons, suspects, motives, and character abilities—each one can change what you think you know.

the truth comes out.
