Cover for the detective case: The 9:14 from Paddington
Case 9 / 32

The 9:14 from Paddington

On the morning of 12 March 1932, the 9:14 express from Paddington pulls into Bristol Temple Meads carrying the body of Sir Oswald Greaves — chairman of the collapsed Albion Investment Trust — strangled in his locked first-class compartment. The door was bolted from the inside; the corridor key never left the conductor's pocket. Everyone assumes it happened in the dark of Box Tunnel. The watch on the floor says otherwise. The evidence is on the table. The solution is sealed. Can you name the killer — and explain how he got in — 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?+
