Four murder mysteries from the secret war. A codebreaker dead with the decrypt that could have won North Africa. A Resistance courier knifed in a Paris safe house. A grounded bomber crew with a killer among them. An Admiral who said four words and died. Real history. One killer in the room. A secret worth dying for.
The dossier
Each file is a complete evening for six to eight players. Hover a file to declassify it. One is ready to host tonight. The rest are coming through production now.
On the verge of a decrypt that could change the war, a codebreaker is found dead at his desk. The work is gone. The hut was locked from the inside. The killer is one of the six people who knew what he had cracked.
Days before liberation, the courier who held the network together lies dead on the kitchen floor. The address was known to exactly five people. He had been compiling a list. A traitor inside the cell. That list is missing.
The mission is scrubbed, the crew grounded. By midnight the intelligence officer is dead and the sealed orders, the names of every agent in the Lyon network, have vanished. Nobody arrived. Nobody left. The killer flew in with them.
Eight guests. Three courses. Between the soup and the main, the Admiral slumped into his glass. He stayed conscious long enough to look at one person and say four words: I know what you did. Nobody is admitting he looked at them.
What makes a war night different
No detective is coming. No police, no rescue. You are confined together and you settle it yourselves, the way it really had to be settled.
Every suspect carries a real, damning wartime secret. Most are innocent of the murder. Telling the loud secret from the lethal one is the whole game.
The murders are fiction. The world around them is not. Each night ends with the real history of the place, and it is always stranger than the crime.
Private dossiers on each phone, the story on your TV, the host in quiet control. Nobody reads from a script. You just play.
Begin with Bletchley
The Cipher at Bletchley is ready to host. The other three war files are in final production. Join the waitlist and we will tell you the moment each one is cleared for release.
