The chief of cardiology at a Baltimore teaching hospital is kept in overnight after a routine heart test and dies on the ward before dawn. The hospital records cardiac arrest, and nobody asks for an autopsy. A night nurse, his deputy, a nurse facing a hearing, the fellow on call, his wife and the night pharmacist all had history with him. Ten years later his daughter wants the records read properly.

What’s inside

  • The Case File with the documents marked D, the persons of interest and the three case questions
  • Envelope A and Envelope B, each confirming one answer and adding new documents
  • Envelope C: the full solution, as a separate file so nobody spoils it by accident
  • Every file in a Colour Edition and a Printer-Friendly Edition (light backgrounds that save ink)
  • The full case in English. It is also sold in German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Turkish and Arabic on those language pages

How to play

  1. Print single-sided, or open the files on a tablet or laptop.
  2. Print Envelopes A, B and C without reading them and seal each one in its own envelope.
  3. Start with the documents marked D and read them as a team.
  4. When you agree on the answer to question A, open Envelope A and check it. Then do the same for B and C.
  5. Envelope C holds the full solution: who did it, why, and the evidence that proves it.

Who it’s for

Made for game night with friends, couples who like a challenge, families with older teens, book clubs and office groups. It also works solo. Spread the pages across a table, split the documents between players and argue it out. Plan for two to three hours. There are no hints and no detective notes: every answer can be proved from at least two documents.

Printing tips

Print single-sided on plain paper. The Printer-Friendly Edition uses light backgrounds and saves ink; the Colour Edition looks best on screen or on a colour printer. You can also mix: read on tablets and print only the pages you want to hold.
