Highlights

Twelve people sit down for a séance at Harrow House. A woman dead for nine years welcomes them by name. Then Elias Wren speaks from the empty thirteenth chair - before he is found dead down the hall.

The Thirteenth Guest is a frightening, evidence-led Halloween investigation for adults. Decode Elias's private note, test the recorded voice, reconcile the clocks and trace the sealed wrist keys. The solution follows the evidence; no supernatural explanation is needed.

HOW YOU PLAY
Three objectives take you through six evidence tasks to a final accusation report. Record your deduction before opening Closing Evidence. Everyone investigates together. No character roles, acting, host or advance reading of the solution. The case uses written records of sound; no audio files or listening equipment are required.

AT A GLANCE
Suggested 2-6 players, or solve alone. Designed for adults; suggested 16+ is an editorial judgement, not a validated age rating. Fictional violent death, bereavement, covert recording and threatening messages; no gore. Ordinary paper and pens. No cutting, props, app or real timer. No verified playtime is claimed.
