Flagship game
The Manor at Midnight
A storm pins eight adults inside Ashcroft Manor after Malcolm Ashcroft collapses before dessert. A shattered cordial glass, a burned codicil, missing trust records, and a clock that should not have stopped turn the room against itself.
Candlelight on the dining table. Rain against the windows. A shattered cordial glass, a burned legal document, and eight adults smiling like none of them knows why midnight is lying.

FAQ
Buying questions, answered.
Does someone have to sit out as host?
No. One buyer starts the room, but the game is built so the shared TV and player phones carry the structure.
Does the host know the killer?
The host does not need to read the solution before the party. The game handles private roles and the final reveal.
Do players need accounts?
Guests join the room by code. Buyer account and purchase access stay separate from guest joining.
