“Meri desk par har file kisi bade aadmi ne band karwayi hai. Inhein dobara kholne ke liye mere paas officers nahin hain. Is liye aap ko bhej rahi hoon.”

When your file arrives, Saba briefs you herself, gives you a badge with your name on it, and waits for your charge. Get it wrong and she'll tell you. Get it right and she'll have the next file ready.

Questions

Do we need the internet?+

The paper file is a complete game on its own. The portal adds the CCTV, the phone and the interrogations, and works on any phone.

Can we play it twice?+

Once you know who did it, you know. But it makes a very good gift once you're done; the portal code works for the next team too.

Is it scary or gory?+

It's a detective puzzle, not a horror game. Reports describe the death plainly, like real police files. Best for 14+.

How do I pay?+

Cash on Delivery. We confirm on WhatsApp first, then the rider brings the file and you pay him.

“File tayyar hai, Detective. Jab aap tayyar hon.”
