It starts with one text

Then it reaches you everywhere. Your phone, your inbox, your mailbox.

Before it starts

Part investigation, part escape game, part crime series

And you are in it.

Day one

A text, then a call you missed

It calls you by your first name. Hours later, a voice you have never heard leaves you a message.

100% yours. Built from your answers.

The next morning

An email, then a website made for you

A file from a sender who does not exist. Then a link to pages built around you, each one hiding a clue.

Not a box. Not a party game. Your real phone, your real life.

Days later

A real letter in your mailbox

Paper and ink, with your name on the envelope. No return address. Someone stood at your mailbox.

Real, not fiction. Texts, calls, emails, websites, a real letter.

Your ending

Then the final call

Every choice you made leads to this moment. You decide how it ends.

At your own pace. Start today or next month.

“It feels real. I love it. Once you get involved, you feel like you're in too deep and can't get out, but I never want it to end. Best fun I've had in years. It feels like I'm investigating a real case.”

“Yes please create more, I am only 3 days in and it is crazy. I have to keep snapping myself back to the real world lol.”
Craig H.✓ Verified on Facebook
“Seriously I’m obsessed with this game and am trying to convince my friends to do it. I hope they come out with more games. I would gladly buy every single one.”
Jennifer V.✓ Verified on Facebook
“It's absolutely amazing. EXTREMELY worth the $60. They set up real social media pages, fake FBI websites, Google Maps, photos, videos and actual snail mail… plus all these puzzles to solve.”

“I started this last Thursday and I was hooked from the beginning! I'm close to graduating with my bachelor's in forensic investigation, this game is right up my alley. I can't wait to see what happens next!”
Allysa H.✓ Verified on Facebook
“I’ve been playing this for about a week now. It took me a minute to understand how to figure out the clues but once I did, it’s been fun. Challenging, but not so challenging that it’s impossible.”
Anastasia B.✓ Verified on Facebook
“So far we love it! It’s literally like playing Hunt A Killer but better and more interactive in my opinion! Totally worth the try!!!”
Kalena G.✓ Verified on Instagram
“Love this! I began on Sunday. My husband wants to play as well!”

“I’m in my second week and so far it’s been pretty fun!”

“Incredible game so far. I’m hoping the next will be harder but I’m only a week in, maybe it gets harder. I feel like the daily puzzle takes me about 15 minutes to complete then I’m just sitting around waiting for the next one.”
Chris B.✓ Verified on Facebook
“I started yesterday, it’s been really fun. The only annoying thing is the excessively long wait times between each of the puzzles. So realistic and very entertaining.”

Good to know

Frequently asked

What exactly is this Experience?

It's the first ultra-realistic investigation experience that takes control of your real life for at least 4 weeks. Less a game you play, more a case you actually live.

How is it different from a murder mystery box or party game?

There is no box to open and no party to host. Your case is built from your questionnaire and reaches you in your real life: texts, calls, emails and real letters in your mailbox, over 4+ weeks at your own pace. Couples can share one copy.

What if I need more than 4 weeks?

Take as long as you want. 4 weeks is the pace most players settle into, not a deadline. Nothing in the case runs on a clock: it waits at every step, so you can pause for a week, take a vacation, and pick it back up exactly where you left off.

Do I have to wait 4 weeks to finish?

In Watcher Killer, no. The case is paced to unfold over about 4 weeks, but most waits between steps can be skipped with one tap, up to five times a week. Play it slow and let it creep in, or push through faster. Your call. This option is only in Watcher Killer for now.

How much does it cost?

$59, once. No subscription, no add-ons, nothing else to buy. That covers the 4 weeks, everything that reaches you and lifetime access to your case.

How does it start?

It's simple: you purchase the experience, you fill out a confidential questionnaire (like in the movie The Game), and you choose when to begin the investigation. From there, the story gradually unfolds and becomes part of your real life.

Is this giftable?

Yes, and the gift option is free. Your access code arrives by email with a gift option inside: generate a personalized printable certificate with their name and their code, or let us reach them with an ultra-real first message and photos of their own street, then the reveal. You choose when.

How will I receive clues?

Through text messages and WhatsApp, phone calls, emails, physical mail, documents to analyze, photos, videos and audio files.

Does the story adapt to my choices?

Absolutely. Every decision you make shapes how the story plays out. No two players ever live the same story.

Does the investigation move forward without me?

No. The game never advances without you. It waits for you at every step.

Can I play with a group of friends or family?

The experience is fully personalized for one player: only the registered player receives all messages, emails and clues, and only they can interact with the game characters. Couples sharing one copy works well, but larger groups should each purchase their own.

Is it scary?

It's a realistic thriller, so yes. Some moments can be intense, unsettling, or make you feel uneasy.

But it stays in your mailbox, your phone and your screen. Nobody will ever follow you in the street, ring at your door or show up in person. No actor, no jump scare in real life. You are never in any danger, and you can stop or pause whenever you want.

Can I play from my country?

The experience is currently built for players in the United States: the physical mail, the calls and the timing are all tuned for U.S. addresses and hours. All you need is an address, a phone and internet.

What language is it in?

English. The calls, the messages, the documents and the physical mail are all in English, so you need to be comfortable reading and replying in it.

Do I need any special equipment?

No, just: a mailing address to receive letters, a smartphone, and internet access.

Nothing to buy, nothing to install, no printer needed. Everything reaches you through your usual email, your phone and your letterbox.

Is there an age limit?

Yes, 18 and over. It is horror fiction and it deals with a cult, disappearances and simulated violence.

Do I have to give my real details?

Only your address, so the mail can reach you. For the rest, if you would rather invent something, invent it. Another first name, a job you never had, a memory that never happened: the investigation works with whatever you give it.

What if I would rather not receive mail at home?

Tell us before your case starts and we run it without the physical mail. Everything comes through your phone, your inbox and your screen instead.
