FAQs
Can I play this game alone?

How long does it take to complete?
Completion time varies based on player experience, but it typically takes several hours of intensive investigation.
Are there any age restrictions?
Due to the mature nature of the true crime subject matter, it is recommended for teen and adult audiences.

Troubleshooting
Difficulty finding audio clues
Listen to the podcast episode a second time, specifically noting background noises or specific mentions of locations and times that correlate with your physical documents.
Feeling stuck on a puzzle
Re-examine the suspect profiles against the forensic files. Often, the solution relies on cross-referencing names or dates found in multiple documents.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality, realistic physical props that enhance immersion
- Engaging collaboration with the popular Morbid podcast
- Excellent for both individual play and small groups
- Intellectually stimulating puzzles that avoid generic board game mechanics
Cons
- One-time replayability as the mystery is solved upon completion

- Linear investigative path may feel restrictive to some players
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: clear a large table to lay out the evidence, ensuring you have access to a device capable of playing the exclusive podcast episode. No additional software or special game boards are required. Because the game relies on paper documents and physical items, keep all components organized in their provided box when not in use to avoid losing small, significant pieces like the train figurine. Avoid using liquids near the evidence to ensure the paper documents remain in good condition for the duration of the investigation.
