Four questions.
Then three cases
instead of twenty six.
Nothing to sign up for and no email required. Answer four things you already know about your evening and the catalogue narrows itself.
What the four questions
are actually doing.
In case you would rather choose yourself. All four are on every case page too.
Group size
Every case runs from six to twelve, but they are not all at their best at the same number. A lighthouse with two people in it does not need twelve suspects, and The Twelve Suspects of Christmas does need twelve.
Real or fiction
Eight cases reopen real murders from 1876 to 1928, and none of them has a settled answer. Eighteen are original fiction, written so your table can actually get there.
The mood
Some tables want to be clever. Some want to accuse each other and laugh. The cases lean one way or the other and it is the difference between a good night and a slightly stiff one.
The occasion
Christmas and Halloween have their own six cases each. A dinner party in March does not, and is better served by the real ones.

Choosing a case, answered.
Which murder mystery case should I choose?
It depends on four things: how many guests are coming, whether you want a real historical case or original fiction, whether your table wants to be clever or wants to laugh, and what the occasion is. The selector on this page asks those four questions and narrows twenty six cases to three.
What is the difference between the real cases and the others?
The eight Case Files reopen real historical murders between 1876 and 1928 using the surviving evidence, and none of them has a settled answer. The eighteen seasonal cases are original fiction with period settings, written to have a solution your table can reach.
Are any cases harder than others?
The cases with a genuine twist reward a table that pays attention: A Death in the Family, The Cipher at Bletchley, Providence House and The Light at Skerry Point. If it is your group's first murder mystery, a more straightforward case is a better first night.
Can I just see all of them?
Yes. The full catalogue is on the cases page, and each of the twenty six has its own page with the setting, the player count and whether it is real history or fiction.
Twenty six cases.
One of them is tonight.
