How to play the game

Four simple steps stand between you and the truth.

A Message from the Inspector

Welcome to the Dread Family Mystery.

Before the evidence is disturbed and the family begins contradicting itself, Inspector Ravenscroft has a few words for every new investigator.

The game in plain words

Read the mystery. Pick the murderer. Wait for the truth.

On each game night, one member of the Dread Family becomes the victim. Read the case briefing and look at the family suspects. Before reports close, choose the person you think committed the murder and submit your report. When the solution is revealed, you will learn whether you solved the case and how many points you earned.

Play as a family

Investigate together—or compete against one another.

A whole household can submit individual reports from one mobile device. Compare theories, keep your choice secret, and see who climbs highest on the leaderboard. Only one investigator will be crowned Master Inspector and receive a prize befitting the title on All Hallows’ Eve.

Playing together

An adult account can add up to 2 child profiles. Children do not need their own email address, and each child receives a separate investigator alias, case history, score, and rank.

Two adults

Link the household accounts.

Two verified adult accounts can be linked. Either adult can then use one mobile device to submit reports for both adults and their children—up to 6 individual investigators with the current household settings.
