Tonight, you two
are the detectives.
A new case arrives every month with a crime, a cast of suspects and every clue you need: evidence, photographs, letters and a drink to match.
A date night with a body count.
Your case arrives
A sealed case file lands on your doorstep each month. Every case is standalone, so you can start anytime and never fall behind.
Pour, play, investigate
Mix the case’s signature drink, start the playlist, and spread out the evidence. Read the statements. Study the photos. Argue about the suspects.
Name the killer
Fill in your accusation together: who, how and why. Then scan the QR code in your case file to open the answer sheet and find out if you cracked it.
Everything a detective needs. Nothing they don’t.
The case file
Police reports, newspapers, receipts, diaries and letters, printed to look and feel real.
Real photographs
Physical photo prints from the night in question. Look closely.
Suspect cards
Every suspect’s portrait, motive and story, to lay out and debate.
A drink pairing
A cocktail and a mocktail written for the story, plus a playlist to set the room.
Hints & an online answer sheet
Three levels of hints if you’re stuck. When you’ve made your accusation, scan the QR code in your case file to see the full solution.
Pour something nice.
Trust no one.
Each case includes a drink pairing card with a signature cocktail and an alcohol-free version, both inspired by the story. You’ll be sipping what the suspects were drinking the night it happened.
¼ oz simple syrup
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Orange peel
1 oz fresh lime juice
½ oz honey syrup
Sparkling water to top
The Ravenwood Affair
Connecticut, 1963. The morning after her family’s autumn gala, heiress Vivian Whitmore is found dead in the estate conservatory. The coroner says poison. The sheriff has five suspects and no arrest. Her lawyer has sent the whole file to you.
Five suspects. One poisoned champagne glass. A photographer who caught more than he realized. Every clue you need is in the box. Finding them is the hard part.
Questions, detective?
How long does a case take?
Most couples need 60 to 90 minutes. Every clue you need is in the box, and the hint sheet is there if you get stuck.
Do we need to start from the first case?
No. Every case is a complete, standalone mystery. Join any month.
Is it scary or gory?
Not at all. Our cases are cozy mysteries in the classic tradition: clever, atmospheric and blood-free.
Do we need anything else to play?
Just a table and each other. A phone is handy for the QR codes, including the one that opens the answer sheet, and the drink ingredients are up to you.
What if we get stuck?
Every box includes a hint sheet with three levels of hints for each part of the case, from a gentle nudge to the full answer.
Can we skip a month or cancel?
Yes. Skip, pause or cancel anytime from your account, no phone calls required.
Your first case is waiting.
A 1963 heiress, a gala, and a poisoned glass of champagne.
