The Blind Count

What’s inside

• The Case File: the case assignment, the persons of interest and every document in the box
• The Solution: who did it, why, and the evidence that proves it, as a separate file so nobody spoils it by accident
• Both files in a Colour Edition and a Printer-Friendly Edition (light backgrounds that save ink)

How to play

1. Print the Case File single-sided, or open it on a tablet or laptop.
2. Put the Solution file aside and do not open it until the end.
3. Read the case assignment, then work through the documents as a team.
4. Compare the records, test every story and agree on one answer: who did it.
5. Open the Solution and check your answer: 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.

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.
