Case 47 / 34

Death at Ashford Hall

On the night of 15 November 1934, Sir Arthur Whitmore — Baronet, sixty-eight — is found dead in the study of his Gloucestershire estate. The doctor calls it a failing heart. The post-mortem calls it something else entirely. Five guests remained under the Hall's roof that night, and each had a reason to want the old man gone. The evidence is on the table. The solution is sealed. Can you name the killer before you break the seal?

Before you buy

Is tax included in the price?+

No. Prices on the site are shown before VAT: the tax for your country is calculated from your billing address and added at checkout, and you see the total before you confirm the payment. If your card is in another currency, your bank converts the euro amount at its own exchange rate. If you pay with PayPal, the amount is charged in US dollars at Lemon Squeezy’s exchange rate, so PayPal will show a dollar amount.

Do I need a host?+

No. Everyone investigates together, while the solution stays sealed until the end.

Do I need to print the case?+

The game is designed to be printed and spread across a table. You can also play from a tablet or laptop.

Do I need a colour printer?+

Colour printing gives the documents their full atmosphere, but all text and clues remain clear in black and white.

When do I receive the file?+

Your download link is available immediately after successful payment. Nothing physical will be shipped.

What if the file does not download?+
