Questions, answered
How many people can play?
One to six people per case. One purchase covers the whole group. Bigger groups can book the team edition, where several groups race on the same case.
Do we all have to be in the same place?
No. That's the whole idea. Everyone joins with the same room code on their own device, wherever they are. If you're apart, we suggest a video or voice call alongside so you can talk it through.
Do we each need to buy it?
No. One person buys the case and shares the code with the group.
How long does a case take?
About two hours. You can save your progress and carry on another night.
What do I need to play?
A phone, tablet or laptop with an up-to-date web browser. There's nothing to download and no account to make.
Is it hard?
Our cases are designed to be properly challenging but always fair. Every answer can be proved from the evidence. If you get stuck, case notes give you hints one layer at a time.
Who is it suitable for?
Our cases are written for players aged 16 and over. The Last Post deals with poisoning, online abuse and grief, but nothing is graphic.
Is it accessible?
Every video and voice note has subtitles and a transcript, text size can be increased, colours are chosen to be readable for colour-blind players, and you can turn animations off at the bottom of any page.
Can we play it again?
Once you know who did it, a mystery can't be unsolved, so each case is really a one-time experience. That's why we keep making new ones.
What if something goes wrong?
Tell us and we'll fix it. If a technical problem on our side stops you finishing, we'll refund you.
When can I play?
The Last Post is launching soon. Sign up and you'll get a free mini-case before launch and first access when it opens.
How are the cases made?
Every story, puzzle and piece of evidence is written and designed by us. Some characters, voices and scenes are created with digital production tools. Everything in our cases is fictional.
