Highlights
A painting is missing. The frame is still there.
After a reception at an auction house, the owner is told her painting has been stolen. Read the accounts, trace the objects and compare the documents before deciding whose explanation holds up.
Off Catalogue is a complete fictional detective case for 1-4 adults. Play solo, as a couple or in a small group. Approx. 60-120 minutes; approachable medium difficulty. Play time and difficulty are editorial estimates, to be refined with real playthroughs.
READ. CONNECT. MAKE YOUR CASE.
Examine fourteen documentary pieces: correspondence, workshop and transport records, printed messages, an administrative extract and more. Both folders are available from the start. Reconstruct what happened to the painting, establish each person's responsibility and distinguish evidence from suspicion. No host, assigned roles or acting required.
INCLUDED - ENGLISH AND SPANISH
- The same complete story in both languages, in two ZIP downloads.
- A 16-page PDF case file with 14 documentary pieces per language.
- A separate 5-page hints PDF per language, with two levels of help.
- A separate 5-page ending PDF per language, with the solution and epilogue.
- Start-here instructions in each download.
Short documents may share a page. Some hints share a page too; open them only when you need help.
PRINT OR READ ON SCREEN
Download, extract the ZIP and open the Case File first. Keep the three PDFs together; if your PDF reader blocks a link to another file, open it manually by name. Take notes wherever you prefer, then compare your explanation with the ending when you are ready.
The whole investigation works offline after downloading. No website, activation or account is needed to play. A PDF reader is required; printing is optional. For printing, use A4, single-sided, actual size and check a page first. Internet is only needed to buy/download or follow optional links to our website and newsletter.
BEFORE YOU BUY
Digital download: no physical item is shipped. The English edition keeps the Spanish setting, character names, euros and 24-hour times. A missing-art investigation without murder. Scene-setting images contain no clues; no outside research or handwriting comparison is needed. Both languages are one story, not two separate cases. There is no automatic scoring or web game.
