Crime, read seriously

The same case,
three truths.

Three detectives investigate with you. Each one sees what the others miss. You choose who you go in with.

Three detectives, three ways of looking

Choose your companion.

You never investigate a case file alone. Not with a narrator reading the case in a neutral voice, but with a detective who has a biography, a method and blind spots of their own. That choice decides what gets lit first and what stays in shadow.

Statement · Witness 03

At midnight we all raised a glass in the lounge. Marcos said he had been in the kitchen since eleven, making dessert. He turned up late for the toast, hands freshly washed. He said he had heard nothing. The umbrella was still dry by the door.

Kelly ›He says it and drops his voice. He had that line ready. Start there.The oven timer started at 23:52. Not “since eleven.”It rained at eleven that night. Why is that umbrella still dry?

FILE 01 · 15 YEARS OF INTERROGATION
“Hands give away what the voice holds back.”

She spent fifteen years on the other side of the table, drawing statements out of people who had decided not to give them. She learned that almost nobody lies well, and that almost nobody knows how to look. She points out who to stop believing; naming the guilty one is up to you.

How they play with youShe pushes you into the interrogations and warns you when someone is performing.

FILE 02 · FORENSICS
“If you have three versions of the same crime, two suspects are lying and one does not remember.”

He trained in a forensics lab. To him an interrogation room is noise: people get it wrong, embellish, talk themselves into their own version. What matters to him is which version survives the data.

How they play with youHe cross-checks documents and hunts the contradiction between what someone said and what the evidence allows.

FILE 03 · 30 YEARS ON THE JOB
“What does not fit is almost always what matters.”

Thirty years on the job and too many cases she should not remember and remembers anyway. Her intuition is compressed experience. First she points at where to look; the explanation comes later, if it comes.

How they play with youShe takes you to the loose end, to what does not add up, before she can even justify it.

How it is played.

No board. No turns. Just the case file, your method and a crime that is not going to explain itself.

  1. You open the case file

    Documents, photographs, forensic reports and statements. Everything the investigation has on the table, on paper or on screen.

  2. You choose a companion

    Kelly, Diego or Inés. Each one teaches you to read the same case their way and lets you see what the others do not.

  3. You investigate

    You interrogate, cross-check evidence and pull the loose end. Nobody tells you where the answer is, just like in a real case.

  4. You accuse and check

    You close the case with your verdict. You confirm whether you got it right, or you go back in with another pair of eyes.

Game modes

Two ways to close a case.

Quick Match

One night.
In one sitting.

You sit down with the case file, alone or as a team, and you do not get up until you accuse. A one-night game that starts and ends in one go, without sleeping on the leads: intense and closed.

Duration
9 PM2-4 h · in one sitting1:30 AM

For one table, one night, one group.

Long Match

One week.
At your own pace.

The case stays open for seven days. You investigate in stretches, sleep on your theories and come back with a cool head. For the case files that do not get solved in one sitting.

Instant Play (digital) or the physical box: what do I buy and what do I get?

With Instant Play you get the complete case file and can start playing right away on a computer, tablet or phone. The investigation takes place in the game's investigation interface, where you'll find everything you need to move the case forward and review its documents, evidence and other materials in digital form. With the physical box you get the same contents in physical form, plus loose evidence in a wax-sealed envelope, printed photographs, a fold-out map and a collectible case-file box. The game interface is the same in both formats and also includes access to the live Leaderboard.

Can I give a case file as a gift?

Yes. You can give either a digital case file or a physical box. At checkout you can mark it as a gift, enter the email of the person receiving it and add a message for them. If you choose the physical box, you can also ship it straight to their address.

Do I need any previous experience to play?

No. You don't need previous experience or any special investigative knowledge. You can start with an Easy level case file, designed to get you familiar with the evidence and how the game works in just a few minutes.

Can I play alone or in a group? How many people can play?

Both. The game supports 1 to 6 players. You can investigate on your own or share the case file with other people, debating the evidence and the different readings of the case. You can also choose Kelly, Diego or Inés as your detective partner. The recommended number may vary from one case file to another, so check each case's page.

What exactly do I do during the game?

There's no board and no turns. You open the case file, choose your detective partner and start investigating. You'll read documents, photographs, forensic reports and statements; you'll interrogate, cross-check evidence and look for contradictions and loose ends. Nobody points you straight to the answer: you have to build your own theory from the evidence. When you think you've solved the case, you make your accusation and sign your verdict. If you're right, you see the solution; if you're wrong, you can reopen the case file and investigate it with fresh eyes.

How long does a case file take?

It depends on the case file and the game mode. There's a Quick Match, designed to solve the case in one sitting, and a Long Match, which gives you up to 7 days to investigate at your own pace.

Do I need to print or download anything to play?

No. If you choose Instant Play, you don't need to download or print any document. The case file's documents and materials are built into the game's investigation interface, which shows them on screen as you move through the case. Although some of them are technically PDF files, you never need to open or download them: the game engine renders them inside the interface itself. If you choose the physical box, you'll receive the case file's materials in physical form to examine and handle during the game.

Is it played online?

Instant Play is a digital experience you access from a computer, tablet or phone. The investigation takes place inside the game's investigation interface, where you can review and analyze every material in the case file. The game interface is the same whether you choose Instant Play or the physical box. What changes is the format in which you receive the case materials: digital with Instant Play and physical in the box.

Do I need to buy anything physical to play?

No. If you choose Instant Play, you don't need to buy any physical item to play. The whole experience takes place in the game's investigation interface, and every document, piece of evidence and material you need to investigate the case is presented digitally inside the game. If you'd rather investigate with the materials in your hands, you can choose the physical box.

Is it a one-night game, or can I play again? Can I replay a case with another partner?

You can solve a case file in a single night or investigate it at your own pace over several days, depending on the game mode you choose. And yes, you can replay a case. Choosing Kelly, Diego or Inés changes how you approach the evidence: each detective has a different perspective and notices different details and clues in the same case. That's why investigating a case again with another partner can reveal things you missed the first time.

Is it an investigation game, a story, an escape room…?

Above all, it's a narrative criminal investigation game. It's not an escape room or a traditional board game: there's no board and no turns. You get a case file with documents, photographs, statements, evidence and reports, and you have to analyze them, cross-check them and reach your own conclusion about the case. The experience combines investigation, story, evidence analysis and interrogation, with the freedom to investigate at your own pace.

Why are there three truths? What does it mean that there are three?

The three truths are three different perspectives on the same case information. Kelly, Diego and Inés receive and know the same information you do as the investigator, but each of them reads the case file from a different perspective. Each partner notices different details and points to different clues. When you investigate with them, the case information doesn't change: what changes is how you look at it, the connections you find and what catches your eye. That's why there are three truths: there aren't three different versions of the case, but three ways of reading and connecting the same evidence and events.
