Der Fall

Twelfth Knife: Weihnachtskrimi in 12 Nächten – auf Englisch

Ravenscroft Hall, Christmas 1976.

Twelfth Knife is a Christmas cold case told across twelve nights. From 13 December, a new witness account unlocks every evening. Read it, break the lock at the end of it, and carry what you've learned into the next. By Twelfth Night you'll have heard from everyone who was in the house. Then you name the killer.

Three days before Christmas, Josiah Merritt, master of the house, is found dead on the library floor. The family doctor writes misadventure on the certificate. The family lets him. The Merritts keep twelve ornamental steel knives, one brought out of the case each night of the season to carve. By Twelfth Night, three are missing. One for each death.

Twelve people wrote down what they saw. Each one saw a piece of it. Each one left something out. Read one account a night, and by Twelfth Night you'll know who took the knives.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

How do I receive my cold case file?

Mit Ihrem Kauf bestellen Sie Twelfth Knife vor. Ihren persönlichen Zugangscode erhalten Sie vor der ersten Nacht per E-Mail, und am 13. Dezember wird die erste Zeugenaussage freigeschaltet. Gespielt wird im Webbrowser – auf jedem Smartphone, Tablet oder Laptop.

How many people can play?

Spielen Sie allein oder mit Ihrem ganzen Haushalt. Ein Zugangscode gilt für alle, die gemeinsam spielen – so kann die ganze Familie jeden Abend die neue Zeugenaussage lesen und über die Verdächtigen streiten.

How long does it take?

Twelfth Knife runs across twelve nights. Night One unlocks on 13 December and a new witness account unlocks every evening through Christmas Eve. The finale and the Reckoning open with Night Twelve on Christmas Eve. Allow around 15 to 20 minutes a night.

Do I need to print anything?

Nein. Jede Zeugenaussage und jede verschlossene Tür öffnet sich in Ihrem Browser – auf dem Smartphone, Tablet oder Laptop.

What if I get stuck?

Every case includes a built-in hint system and a full solution, so you're never truly stuck.

Can I play it more than once?

Each case has one solution, so the reveal lands hardest the first time. Plenty of detectives go back through the evidence afterwards to catch what they walked straight past — and when you're ready for a fresh investigation, there's a whole library of cases waiting.

What device should I use?

Ein Smartphone, Tablet oder Laptop mit Webbrowser genügt. Auf dem iPad fügen Sie das Spiel über „Zum Home-Bildschirm“ hinzu – dann spielt es sich wie eine App.

What age is it suitable for?

Twelfth Knife is recommended for ages 15 and over. It is a murder mystery with mature themes, so it is best suited to older teens and adults.
