How does it work?
You order a case, we print it and post it to you. Everything you need is in the envelope, plus a small part online. Most cases take an evening, about 60 to 90 minutes.
Is it okay for kids?
The main cases are for 12 and up: there's a death, but nothing gory and no crime-scene photos. Our junior cases have no murder at all and suit ages 7 to 12 with a grown-up.
What if we get stuck?
Every case has free hints online, a few per question, each one giving away a little more. The answer stays sealed until you choose to open it.
Can we play it more than once?
Once you know who did it, you know. Nothing gets used up, though, so you can pass the case on to friends to solve next.
When will it arrive?
We post every order within 2 working days with An Post, free, anywhere in Ireland. It usually lands 1 to 2 days after that.
Where do you deliver?
Anywhere in Ireland, and delivery is free. We don't post outside Ireland yet.
When is the next case out?
Last Train to Howth and our junior case, Who Stole Santy's Sack?, are being written now. Murder in Lucan is the one you can order today.
