🎂 Ideas · By occasion
A birthday with a mystery
Candles, cake… and a body in the library. Turn the party into an investigation: the whole group argues, suspects and accuses. It works just as well in your living room as spread across the country.
- From 4 to 15 people: split-information cases hand out roles so nobody is left watching.
- Between 30 and 90 minutes: it fits between dinner and the cake.
- Funny or spooky: pick the tone to suit the birthday person.
Cases that fit
The ones you can play right now, first.
The syndicate's lottery ticket
22 December. The Christmas jackpot lands on the village bar… and the syndicate's ticket is no longer on the corkboard.
The La Unión payroll
The La Unión mining hills, 1899. It's payday Saturday, the mine's paymaster is found dead beside the empty strongbox and the Civil Guard already has a culprit: the strike leader.
The fall of Qart Hadast
Cartagena, the Carthaginians and Romans festival. After the night of the Battle, the general of a legion is found dead in the armoury, with the bronze eagle on top of him.
The last harvest
Jumilla, September 1976. The winery's owner is found dead at dawn beside the vats of fermenting must. The doctor says it was his heart.
The night of the comet
Sierra Espuña, May 1910. The Earth passes through the tail of Halley's comet and the observatory's director is found dead at the foot of the dome staircase.
The cloak of gold
Caravaca, 2 May. A club's embroidered cloak disappears the night before the Wine Horses race.
Three hundred years
Cehegín, 2026. Locked in the convent the night before the big exhibition. Every room in 360°.
Ash Wednesday
Caravaca, 1934. On Carnival night the True Cross disappears. The town already has a culprit… and it's the wrong one.
Mystery at Villa Olivares
A stormy night, a clock collector and five suspects.

Questions
How many of us can play at once?
Up to 15 in one room. With an event pass (€3 per person) nobody else needs a plan.
Can someone who has never played organise it?
Yes. Whoever creates the room just shares a code. The game explains the rules at the start and there are hints if you get stuck.
What if we live in different cities?
Even better: each of you plays on your phone and you talk in the room chat or on a video call.
