Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the game is straightforward: ensure you have enough surface space to lay out all components, including letters, maps, and evidence cards. While no special technical requirements exist, having a smartphone or laptop nearby is highly recommended to access the online hint portal if you find yourself at a standstill. Since the game consists of paper materials, store the components flat within the box when finished to avoid bending or folding the evidence, as the condition of the documents is vital for future play-throughs or passing the game to a friend.
