Interactive Mysteries & Games
Welcome to the playful side of my stories—where readers don’t just watch the mystery unfold, they help solve it.
Here you’ll find downloadable HTML and PDF mysteries, clue‑driven games, and activity packs designed for book clubs, classrooms, libraries, parties, and road trips. Each experience invites players to follow the evidence, compare notes, and argue (kindly!) over who did what and why.
Some games are cozy and lighthearted, some lean a bit more suspenseful, but they all share the same heartbeat: clear instructions, clever twists, and puzzles that feel challenging without being frustrating. Most can be played solo, as a couple, or in a small group—with built‑in options for hosts and facilitators.
If you’re looking for a ready‑to‑go mystery night, an engaging activity for readers who “don’t usually like games,” or a fresh way to bring story and interaction to your next event, you’re in the right place.

When Claire Holloway inherits a struggling used bookstore, she discovers a collection of documents hidden among the shelves. The papers belonged to Eleanor Vale, a wealthy widow who spent her final years claiming someone was manipulating her life.
Most people believed Eleanor was confused.
The evidence suggests otherwise.
As you sort through letters, records, receipts, and forgotten files, you'll uncover secrets that connect to a suspicious death, missing money, and a decades-old cover-up.
The question is simple:
What did Eleanor know?
When Clara Whitaker's mother dies, she inherits a box of documents she was never meant to see.
Inside are newspaper clippings, photographs, witness statements, handwritten journals, financial records, maps, and a final letter.
In 1989, Vivian Hale—a young woman living on Seabrook Island—died after her car left a dark stretch of road known as Blackwater Road.
The case was closed. But Clara's mother never believed the official story.
As you work through the evidence, a different picture begins to emerge.
Then Clara discovers something even more disturbing.
Her mother didn't stop investigating because she ran out of leads. She stopped because she was pregnant.
Convinced that continuing to dig for answers could put her unborn daughter in danger, she locked the evidence away and spent the rest of her life carrying secrets she could never share.
Now the box has finally been opened.
And the truth is yours to uncover.
A missing woman. A bookstore full of hidden evidence. A cold case that refuses to stay buried.
Emily Harper disappeared on May 22, 2016. She left work at Waypoint Marina and was never seen again.
The official investigation went nowhere. Leads dried up.
Years later, a small independent bookstore begins receiving strange donations. Inside the books are letters.
Journal pages. Photographs. Maintenance reports. Handwritten notes. Fragments of an investigation that was never finished.
Now the evidence has found its way to you. Your job is to reconstruct Emily's final weeks, identify what she discovered, determine who knew about it, and uncover what happened the night she vanished.
The deeper you go, the more obvious it becomes:
Emily Harper wasn't simply a missing person.
She was investigating something.
And someone wanted her to stop.

A week before retirement, your former partner contacts you with a favor.
There is one case he never solved. One case he never forgot.
In October 2015, Eleanor Marsh, a 46-year-old CFO, was found dead in her office in Suite 712 of a downtown Sioux Falls office building. The death was ruled natural. The file was closed.
Now he's turning over everything he has: witness statements, medical examiner records, toxicology reports, crime scene photographs, evidence logs, internal correspondence, and investigative notes collected during the original investigation.
The official conclusion doesn't fit the evidence. Somewhere in these files is the reason why.
Your job is to find it. This is a realistic investigative experience that places you in the role of a detective reviewing an unsolved case file.
You'll examine conflicting witness statements, study forensic evidence, compare timelines, identify overlooked connections, and determine what really happened inside Suite 712.
