FAQ
How do I get my game?
Instantly. Right after checkout you get a download link on the order page and by email. Each game is a zip file of PDFs. Nothing is shipped.
What paper size are the files?
Every game comes in two complete sets: US Letter and A4. Each set is laid out for its own paper (not scaled), so it prints cleanly in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, Europe and everywhere else. Print at 100% ("Actual size").
Do I need a colour printer?
No. Covers are in colour, but the evidence, character booklets and clue cards print well in black and white. You can also print at a local print shop.
Which game should I choose?
- A party for 8 to 15 guests: Murder at the Midnight Sleigh, a 1920s speakeasy Christmas murder mystery party (about 2 to 3 hours).
- Date night for two: Death in the Christmas Window, a co-op detective game for couples (60 to 120 minutes).
- Family, friends or solo, any time of year: Last Crossing at Saltmere, a no-host cold case for 1 to 6 players.
- A quiet, eerie night alone: The Smoke Log of Corrow Peak, a solo journaling game played with cards and a die.
Not sure? See our game guide.
Does someone have to host and know the answer?
No. In the party game the host runs the evening but does not need to know the solution, so the host can play too. The date night game, the cold case and the solo game need no host at all. Solutions stay sealed until the end.
Is it fair? Can we actually solve it?
Yes. Every game is written so the evidence proves who did it. Careful players can solve it without guessing, and the sealed solution walks through the proof step by step, including every red herring.
Is it scary or gory?
No gore. The murders happen off-stage. The party and date night games suit teens and adults (13+), the cold case suits ages 12+, and the solo horror journaling game is eerie rather than graphic (14+).
Do you have a multi-buy discount?
Yes. Buy any 2 games and save 20%, or 3 or more and save 30%. The discount is applied automatically at checkout.
Can I give a game as a gift?
Yes. Buy it with your own email and forward the download email to the person you are gifting it to, or print it and wrap it.
Can I print more than one copy?
Yes, print as many copies as you need for your own household, party or group. Please do not resell or share the files.
Can I run a game at a venue, library, school or company event?
Personal licences cover your own household, party or group. For ticketed events, venues, libraries, schools and corporate team events, email quillbaylabs@gmail.com and we will set you up with an event licence.
Which currency will I pay in?
Prices are shown in your local currency where available. Your bank may convert the final amount.
