3 All new Cases

A Twist of the Knife

He wrote about perfect murders; twisted plots, clever killers, bodies no one was meant to find. Then, someone flipped the script, and left him dead in his own bed, with a signature twist straight out of one of his books. Coincidence? I don’t believe in those. This case reads like fiction, but the blood’s real.

Hollywood Heartbreak

She had fame, fortune, and a face that sold movie tickets coast to coast. Now she’s just another headline, "Starlet Found Dead in Field". No diamonds, no spotlight…just dirt, blood, and a bullet through the heart. They called her a heartbreaker. Looks like someone finally returned the favor.

The Curse of the Jade Jaguar

A downed aircraft off the cliffs of Palos Verdes with a dead pilot, is tragic. The fact it is the second body with the same strange tattoo, is unsettling. Someone’s tying knots in the dark… and as a detective, you're about to start pulling.

ARC System

Using the innovative ARC (Adaptive Response Card) System to create the feel of interrogating a suspect, the Chisel will control how suspects choose to answer questions. Detectives can challenge responses that they think are lies but at great risk: If they're wrong, the Chisel will acquire leverage over them, making the case that much harder to solve.

Historically Inspired Game Board

Detectives will explore every shadowy corner of the City of Angels, rendered in gorgeous and authentic detail on a massive 33x21 inch game board. The game board is based on an amazing public domain map created in 1932 by K. M. Leuschner.

The Chisel

While detective players will not be able to experience a given case again as a detective (since they'll already know the solution), anyone can play the same case multiple times as The Chisel. In fact, it even benefits The Chisel to have played a case more than once! The Chisel will understand how the mystery works and have a better grasp of how to mislead and delay the detectives during their investigation.

In fact, a case can unfold VERY differently depending on how the detectives pursue their investigations, always forcing The Chisel to stay on his or her toes even if it's a case he or she's already played.
