The game
What is The Sinister Project?
A real-life murder mystery game. A satanic cult has chosen you, and for about 4 weeks the case plays out in your own life: messages, phone calls, emails, videos and websites that exist for your case, and a real letter in your mailbox.
How is it different from a mystery box or an escape room?
There is no box to open and no room to book. Your case is built from your own answers and reaches you on your phone, in your inbox, on your computer and, in the United States, in your mailbox.
How long does it take?
About 4 weeks, at your own pace. You choose the day it starts, and the story waits for you at every step.
How hard is it?
Medium. Hints are built in, from a small nudge to the full answer, so you never stay stuck for long.
Is it scary?
Intense, not gory. It is a psychological thriller you are inside of: tension, pressure, a few real chills, never trauma. It is fiction. It stays on your phone, on your screen and in your mailbox, and nobody ever comes to your home.
Can I play with someone?
Yes. One game code is one investigation: play it alone or gather people around the same screen.
Who makes The Sinister Project?
Murder Experience, the makers of Watcher Killer. The Sinister Project is our first case.
Do I need to have played Watcher Killer?
No. They are two separate cases in two separate worlds. Start with either one.
Made for you & privacy
Is it really personalized?
Yes. A short private questionnaire feeds the story engine before the case starts. Every clue, every contact and every message is then built around you: nothing you receive is generic.
What do I need to play?
A smartphone with WhatsApp and Telegram, both free, and an email address.
Do you really mail me a letter?
Yes. A real letter lands in your mailbox during the investigation, anywhere in the United States. Outside the United States, your case runs without the physical mail.
Is my personal information safe?
Your questionnaire is confidential, and you choose what you share. Your answers are only used by our story engine to build your case, and we never sell them.
Buying & gifting
Is it a one-time payment?
Yes, $59 once. Lifetime access, no subscription and no hidden fees.
When do I get access?
Right away. Your game code arrives by email right after payment.
Can I buy both games at once?
Yes. Add both to your cart: you receive one game code per investigation.
Can I give it as a gift?
Yes, for free. After checkout, use the gift option in your code email: a printable certificate with their name and their code, or let the cult reach them first with an ultra-real message and photos of their own street, then the reveal with their code. They answer their own questionnaire, so the case is built around them.
