About
Someone is sending Iris Clewe crosswords that come true.
New York, 1924. Iris edits the puzzle page of the Evening Ledger. One morning a grid arrives with no stamp and no return address, signed "The Constructor", and by midnight its answers describe a murder. Solve the puzzles, question the witnesses, catch the liar, and lay out the case until it sticks.
EVERY CLUE IS A PUZZLE A crossword that predicts a crime. A cipher in a dead man's pocket. A switchboard log, a dance card, a torn letter, a galley full of misprints. Every solved puzzle hands you a piece of evidence, and every piece of evidence matters: each case has exactly one answer, and the game proves it.
ACCUSE, THEN MAKE IT STICK Name the killer, where they stood, what they used and why, and the one witness who lied to you. Then the defence objects, and you answer with the evidence you found.
SEASON ONE: THE CONSTRUCTOR Six cases, one sender, and the last case is about Iris herself. - Case 1 is free, for good. - The Season Pass opens Cases 2 to 6 with one purchase. You can also buy a single case.
THE CONSTRUCTOR'S DAILY A new 5x5 grid every day, free. No timer and no streak to lose: a missed grid waits in the archive.
ALSO - Art Deco illustrations in the style of 1920s posters, a narrator for every scene and a voice for every witness - Ragtime piano, with a gramophone that keeps each case's record - Help from Mr. Pim of the Ledger's archive whenever you are stuck: his nudges are free, and the answers he fills in are paid for with favors you earn by solving, never with money
No ads. No timers. Hints never cost money. Buy a season once, keep it forever.
