About the Game

1 isolated hotel. 1 dead body. 16 suspects.

Jessica Channing was an arrogant actress with many enemies, not least the cast and crew of the film she was shooting at the time of her death. The case grew cold and her killer was never apprehended. However Detective Chief Inspector Daniella Selby, the Senior Investigating Officer dealing with Jessica’s death decides to reopen the case. Eager to pursue the investigation to its conclusion in order to give her grieving mother and twin sisters some closure, the police make an unusual announcement: Numerous pieces of evidence gathered during the initial investigation will be released in the hope that the public (YOU!) will view it and solve this murder!

The evidence includes social media posts, CCTV footage and a significant number of clips from a behind the scenes documentary which was being made of the film that Jessica was starring in.

Persons of interest and those close to – or involved with – Jessica at the time of her murder are named and will be available for questioning.

Jessica Channing's killer was never caught. Justice was never served. Now, years later, it's time to re-open the mystery of who murdered Jessica Channing.

Investigate and study a huge archive of evidence and interrogate the sixteen suspects to find out what they know.
