The Wrong Turn at Blackfern Inn

Immersive murder-mystery game

A QR-driven multiplayer mystery where even a player inspecting their phone can't find the killer.

A complete murder-mystery game for 6 to 8 players, with a landing page, a free Act One demo, a host dashboard, guest dossiers opened by QR code, evidence released round by round and a staged reveal.

The problem

What needed solving

In a phone-based game, determined players will look at everything their phone receives. If the killer's dossier is even slightly different from everyone else's, the secret is gone.

The solution

What we built

A host dashboard and guest dossiers delivered to phones by QR code, with evidence unlocked by codes the host reads aloud.

Core functionality

  • Landing page and a free Act One
  • Host dashboard
  • Guest dossiers opened by QR code
  • Evidence released round by round
  • Printable dossiers and evidence packs

Business impact

What sets it apart

Why it works

  1. 01

    Every dossier looks the same

    The killer's phone receives nothing that tells it apart from anyone else's.

  2. 02

    The host controls the pace

    Evidence unlocks only when the host reads out the code, and the game checks every code.

  3. 03

    Try before you buy

    A free first act lets hosts play the opening before they pay.
