What Makes It Uncommon

Uncover clues, decipher codes, and solve puzzles to crack one of three mysteries set in the mid-19th century.

  • Lose yourself in an interactive trilogy that seamlessly blends historical fact and fiction.
  • You’re the detective as you venture solo or join forces with friends and family solving cryptic puzzles left behind by the story’s villain.
  • Created for fans of escape rooms and brainteasers, each tale includes two parts, providing players with a two- to four-hour immersive experience. (Six to eight hours in all.)
  • Make a whole night of it with enhanced gameplay tips, including 19th century food and drink recipes, music suggestions, and costume recommendations.
  • Having trouble cracking a code? Not to worry. There’s a website filled with hints and helpful information.
  • Best of all, no clues or pieces are destroyed during play, making it easy to regift and enjoy again and again.

    • Choose from one of three stories:
  • Blackbrim: 1876—You receive a parcel from the police commissioner of the English town of Blackbrim shortly before he and the entire police force disappear. Use the clues within the package to thwart the perpetrator and save the day.
  • Reager’s Return—A year has passed since your run-in with the criminal Reager Skinner. You begin to accept that the trail has turned cold until a letter from the London police arrives, asking for your help against Reager in the capital.
  • Origins & Ends—You've expertly foiled plot after plot, but each time, Reager has slipped just beyond your grasp. Now, new information has come to light that may finally give you the upper hand. You return to the origin of your conflict, enlist the help of an old friend, and embark on what you hope will be the final saga of this journey.

  • Each episode in the trilogy is sold individually.
  • Designed by Andy Whitmore in California. Made in China.


Save on all three cases when you buy the Victorian Era Detective Trilogy Subscription. The one-time, up-front fee secures three months of mystery and intrigue delivered right to your door.

Andy Whitmore was born and raised in Eugene, Oregon. The self-described jack-of-all-trades majored in engineering at Stanford University and made game development a career in 2021. “It’s allowed me to flex my analytical and creative skills,” Andy says. “From the story lines to the art to the wide variety of puzzles. I’m hooked!” His games are accessible to a single inexperienced player, challenging enough for a group of proficient puzzlers, and filled with at least one, if not several, “Eureka!” moments.
