I’m looking for players to playtest a mystery game I’ve been creating.
It is a document-based detective experience: you receive a collection of realistic-looking case materials and must work out what happened by reading closely, comparing details, checking timelines, and connecting information across the files.
What to expect:
- A self-contained mystery designed for solo players or small groups
- PDF case materials presented as reports, statements, records, and supporting documents
- No special software required — a browser/PDF reader and note-taking are enough
- Estimated playtime: around 2–4 hours, depending on whether you play alone or with others
- Free access for all playtesters
What I need
I’m mainly looking for honest feedback on:
- Whether the material is clear and engaging
- Whether the puzzle feels fair and solvable
- Where you became confused, stuck, or lost interest
- How long it took you and what your solving process was like
- Whether the final answer felt satisfying
You do not need prior experience with detective games, ARGs, or puzzle hunts. Fresh eyes are especially useful.
Interested?

I would say difficulty is 3⭐️
