Death in Antarctica

Death in Antarctica Murder Mystery Case File Game

A scientist is dead. You are stranded at a remote Antarctic research station. And somewhere among the evidence is the truth.

Death in Antarctica is an immersive murder mystery case file game where you become the detective and investigate a suspicious death at the bottom of the world.

Work through 50+ pieces of physical evidence, examine photographs, suspect information, research documents, forensic clues and reports, and piece together what really happened.

There are no actors and no host required — simply open the case file and start investigating.

Perfect for mystery lovers, true crime fans, date nights, family game nights, solo detectives and groups looking for a challenging screen-light activity.

🔎 Your Investigation

A respected scientist has been found dead at a remote Antarctic research station.

Was it an accident — or murder?

To solve the case, you will need to examine the evidence, identify inconsistencies, connect clues and uncover the events leading up to the scientist's death.

Your investigation must determine:

WHO committed the crime?
HOW was it done?
WHY did they do it?

Only when you can answer all three have you cracked the case.

📁 What's Inside the Death in Antarctica Case File?

Your investigation includes 50+ evidence pieces, such as:

• Crime scene and surveillance photographs
• Suspect and personnel information
• Research station documents
• Forensic and scientific evidence
• Newspaper articles and reports
• Timelines and written statements
• Maps, diagrams and environmental clues
• ID cards and case documents
• Optional online hints
• Full solution to reveal once you have made your final accusation

The realistic documents and evidence make Death in Antarctica feel more like opening a genuine detective case file than playing a traditional board game.

🕵️ A Murder Mystery You Solve Yourself

Unlike a traditional murder mystery party, Death in Antarctica does not require guests to play characters, read scripts or have someone act as the host.

Instead, everyone investigates the same crime together.

Spread the evidence across the table, compare theories and follow the clues until you believe you know what happened.

Play it:

• By yourself
• As a couple
• With friends
• As a family
• At a game night
• As a small-group team building challenge
