Murder at Cape Anna casts you as a detective with the Will Street Detective Agency, enjoying well-earned vacation time in the sleepy seaside town of Cape Anna, New England. Your week of sunshine and fresh seafood takes a dark turn when you stumble on a crime scene right in the middle of the Founder's Festival: a body has just been found near the tents, and the local police clearly seem out of their depth. Recognized for your sharp instincts, the lead investigator asks for your help, lobster rolls and blueberry pie included. How can you say no? This cooperative mystery game turns you into a real sleuth: open the envelopes at the right time, dig through every document handed out at the festival, and unlock the password protected QR codes to move the story forward and unmask whoever is hiding behind this idyllic town's dark secret.

You will love Murder at Cape Anna if you are into at-home escape games, if digging through paper clues like a real detective sounds like your kind of night, and if unlocking a mystery clue by clue gives you chills. The game plays solo or with a group of up to four amateur detectives, making it a perfect night for true crime fans looking for an original game night at home.

This monthly Deadbolt Mystery Society box, released in September 2022, won the 2022 Bullseye Award for Player's Choice Best At-Home Experience from ESCAPETHEROOMers, and was even named box of the year. On the publisher's own difficulty scale, the case rates a 6 out of 10, a moderate challenge suited to rookie and seasoned detectives alike. Fun fact: the town of Cape Anna resurfaces in 2024's Blood in the Water, a sequel that pulls investigators back into its troubled waters years later.

To play through the full case, you will need a smartphone, tablet or computer with internet access to unlock the password protected QR codes that move the story forward.
