POST MORTEM LA: LUCHA MUERTE

Our Post Mortem games are deeply narrative-driven and chock-full of puzzles, clues, intrigue and complex problem-solving. They’re perfect for fans of classic murder mysteries or modern shows like CSI and Law & Order, and they’re suitable for either a solo or group activity.

In the world of Post Mortem, you’ve been recruited as a detective to help solve some of the toughest and most intractable cases that come across the Chief’s desk. We’ve given you everything you need. We know you can do it. Can’t you?

“Don’t you know that a midnight hour comes when everyone has to take off his mask? Do you think life always lets itself be trifled with? Do you think you can sneak off a little before midnight to escape this?”  - Søren Kierkegaard 

The door of the El Santo Niño church flies open, and two shotgun blasts echo through the hall. Horrified witnesses report a gunman wearing a red cape and mask. Now El Angel Rojo, champion luchador and hero of Chavez Ravine, sits in a jail cell downtown, charged with double murder.

As an auxiliary investigator at the Global Detective Agency, it’s up to you to venture into the wild world of Lucha Libre, where heroes and villains alike keep their true identities hidden. Is the Red Angel truly a demon in disguise? Or are there more powerful and malevolent forces at play, here in the valley of death?

As a lead investigator, you’ll receive a package containing all the evidence, clues, clippings, documents, desperate notes scrawled in secret, and other materials you’ll need to explore noir-era LA and solve the case. Your guidebook will help you stay on target. And there are plenty of surprises in store.

  • AUDIENCE: Ages 12+, Suitable for Families with Older Children
  • DIFFICULTY: Moderate
  • PUZZLES: Moderate

 

* Package will be shipped in 7-14 days

I loved it so much!

I am an adult and I loved this activity so much. At the beginning I was doubtful simply because I wasn't familiar with the format but after I understood how to use the book wow what a trip. I spent a few hours a day, taking my time, exploring the clues, enjoying the story, getting to know the characters names. No rush. Just focusing on it. It allowed me to relax and disconnect from everyday life, it was like I was in a different dimension. I have already ordered two more mysteries. This was so much better than the escape style boxes, escape boxes it's just a bunch of puzzles, no thinking or brainstorming, no finding clues and connecting people and stories. Here you have to put the gears in your brain in motion and immerse yourself in the story. Loved it. My daughter, 8yo, spent all the time glued to me asking me to keep her updated on the developments. She loved the actual physical clues and the badge.

I need more and more Post Mortem !!

I loved playing Lucha Muerte, my favorite in the series so far. I breathed in the atmosphere of the game from the beginning and had many moments of laughts and great moments of intensity. the story is really well written and the immersion in the atmosphere is total. the quality of the materials is excellent and the evidence's envelopes were wonderful.

More than I expected

Wasn't sure what to expect but thought I'd try one for a birthday gift for my daughter. Quality is amazing, wasn't sure how in depth it would be but it's actually a lot more challenging than I thought it would. All my assumptions have been thrown out the window and it really is a puzzle you've got to work out yourself. We're all really enjoying it and will definitely buy more

What fun!

This is our second Post Mortem case and enjoyed every moment of it. This was the first one we were able to solve all the questions at the end. The story is super interesting and on point with the real culture of Lucha Libre's. It was nice to be in that world. Every night we grabbed a drink, put on a Noir playlist from Spotify and played for about 2 hours. Took us about 5-6 hours in total. Highly recommended.

A fun collaborative activty

I bought this game as a gift for my mother, who enjoys reading and watching murder mysteries and doing puzzle books. I thought it might be fun for us to complete it together over Christmas, and I was right: she & I both absolutely LOVED it! We had a blast going tracking down all the leads and uncovering the evidence, and it was so satisfying to uncover the solution all by ourselves. We found ourselves theorizing about the mystery even when we didn't have it in front of us! After we were done, we put it all back together and she can easily pass it on to someone else who might enjoy it. I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a fun collaborative offline activity that engages your brain. I'll definitely be getting another game in the series as a gift for her.
