Casefile Mystery: The Star-Eaters, September 2024
This a free escape-room style, mystery game for players of any age and is best played in groups of 3-8.
Players visit ten locations in the game and each location has a window sticker with a unique QR code to scan, to progress the story.
Professor Maccelsbury has been missing for 48 hours. Now, Detective Inspector Ranney is stretched thin and getting desperate. He’s called you in as an off-the-book consultant. He says he’ll give you everything that he’s gathered in his case file to go on, vague as it might be. The professor’s life is in your hands. Examine the case file, follow the clues, and try to solve the mystery of the star-eaters.
Where you encounter online evidence we recommend taking screenshots and we strongly advise players to take a notepad along with them.
