The game has a shorter playtime, is perfectly tailored for a mystery game night, and has simpler family-friendly rules.

Each of the cases challenges players with different stings and case styles, inviting players to Richmond’s Suburbs, the Virginia University campus, and to a manor house in the English countryside.
