I am contacting you because I urgently need your help! A tragic murder has taken place, and now my husband has been detained on suspicion of having killed Walter Kramer. I have collected some information and am enclosing it with this letter. You are my last hope of finding the real murderer…
In Crime Scene: Green Poison, players must use their wits, the stack of documents found in the case file, and the internet, to solve a mystery.
Crime Scene: Green Poison takes players to Westchester County after a dead body washes up on a local riverbank. The initial police report noted "death by drowning," but could not rule out whether this was an accident or a homicide. The players have been contacted by Betty Barker, whose husband is a prime suspect for the potential murder because he has no alibi for the time when the murder is alleged to have occurred.
As a team, players must analyze the contents of the case file, which includes the initial police report, letters, photographs, and a multitude of other documents. As with the other releases in the Hidden Games Crime Scene product line, no detail is too small: every piece of information is a possible lead, and connections must be made as players uncover each new piece of evidence. Anyone who enjoys solving puzzles and mysteries will enjoy this immersive deduction game!
As always, the investigation is multidimensional as players gather their data. Scour the internet to track down supporting evidence, use the included testing kit and sample to identify potential toxins, and listen to witness testimonies. There is also an informant who can provide assistance remotely, via online messages. Players can keep track of the facts, potential alibis, and motives of each on the included evidence board.
With patience and skill, the pieces will fall into place and the case of Green Poison will be solved!
For this investigation, players will need internet access and it is recommended that a phone, tablet, or computer be available. The game is suitable for players aged 14 and over, and we recommend between 1.5 and 3 hours to complete this case (which can be played straight through or split between into multiple sessions). If playing with a larger group or family, it is possible to support younger players as they assist with the detective work, assuming you are comfortable with the criminal elements of a murder mystery narrative.
