Read the full game description

Suspects: Adele and Neville, Investigative Reporters is the third standalone chapter in Studio H’s cooperative mystery series. Players follow a married pair of 1960s journalists through three cases, choosing which numbered leads to pursue and laying clue cards out like pages in an investigation. Evidence can connect across cards, interviews reveal new threads, and the group may answer case questions whenever it believes the truth is clear. Drawing fewer clues preserves a higher score, so every new lead trades certainty for efficiency.
