THE GAME IS AFOOT

With Murders By Mail, you don't just read mysteries: you solve them! Study the clues, send out your investigators, and corner the killer. All you need is a mailbox and a web browser.

HOW IT WORKS

Choose a mystery! A box will arrive within days containing the case file and materials related to the investigation.

This includes an introduction to your three investigators, as well as maps, photographs, clues, and other important pieces of reference.

Decide where you want to investigate: which leads to follow, where to visit, which suspects to interrogate.

Each investigator has special talents, so choose wisely! Use a web browser to send each investigator to their target.

In a few days, a letter will arrive from your team describing what they’ve learned, revealing more of the mystery.

Return to the case file, review your notes, and send them back out to new destinations. Repeat until you’re ready to solve the case!

“Playing Murders by Mail isn’t like reading a book, watching a movie or a show on TV. The case is in my hands. I choose what leads to follow, where to investigate and how.”
