HOW TO PLAY

01

The case file arrives

One sealed envelope delivered to your letterbox. Nothing to download and no list of rules. Just dive into the murder investigation and solve the mystery.

02

You work the evidence

Spread the photographs, pieces of evidence, newspaper clippings and police interviews across a table. Read the notes, listen to the tapes. Argue. Somebody is lying and the clues are hidden in there somewhere.

03

Find the killer

Once you've identified the killer and backed your theory up with evidence and a motive, open the sealed envelope to find out what really happened. Did you get it right?

Case 001  /  Kererū Bay, New Zealand  /  unsolved

Death on New Year's Day

Everyone in Kererū Bay said Toby Marsh fell from the clifftop. His mother never believed it. Twenty-nine years later, the file lands on your desk.

Kererū Bay, 1997

Local boy Toby Marsh, 24, was found at the base of the cliffs at Whale Head at dawn on 1 January 1997. The coroner recorded a drunken fall after the bonfire party, but his mum never believed it was an accident. She kept asking for a review of the case and in 2026 the file was reopened.

Toby was well-liked in the sleepy surf town, he worked at the campground his family owned and was the captain of the surf lifesaving club. Was his death an accident? If it wasn't, who could have wanted him dead?
