In 1950s Appleton on the Northwest side, a seemingly ordinary accountant is found dead in a locked room, with no motive, no suspects, no gun. The police don’t have a clue, but they do have the best Private Investigators in the business: you. Do you have what it takes to unravel the web of crime, money, betrayal, mobsters and femme fatales? Will you solve the case, or will you let the trail go dark?

Fun, hard and immersive.
Gameplay
It was a fun and novel experience. Felt like the start was kind of slow. One specific puzzle required players to be in the designers head, to solve the puzzle would likely have required a clue. We managered an educated brute force and got lucky. There was a puzzle that I could see having several limiting factors in it making it very difficult or impossible for some groups to solve and unfortunately I doubt any clue would help, Its possible our group just struggled way more then is normal though.
Atmosphere
Atmosphere was amazing, it felt very immersive and was easy to feel like you were actually in a classic detective movie. the only criticism I have about atmosphere was the room was small and didn't have the greatest climate control. We had 3 larger players in the room and between our body heat and some of the props it got a little toasty, I also tend to be sensitive to temperature changes.
Customer service
Our GM was amazing and made the experience way better, her ability to go from rules to story telling was truly a work of art and immediately brought our group into the experience!
