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?

The bullet-riddled bodies of film star Clara Rose and her estranged husband are found on a dusty backlot at Orpheum Pictures, the most powerful studio in Hollywood. Was it a classic murder-suicide? A business rivalry that turned personal? Revenge for unpaid debts to the Mob?
Or could it be something far more sinister, and bigger than anyone could have imagined?
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.
* Package will be shipped in 7-14 days
I got this for a Christmas gift for my girlfriend, who loves murder mysteries. We did it together and had a great time. Definitely worth the money and I will be a repeat customer!
Thanks so much for your review. Welcome to our world!
I liked the characters and the story and got a lot of information out of it, but the actual solution is really difficult to come up with from it.
We took this on a recent cruise for some down time during “at sea” days for the three of us. This was our first mystery game and weren’t sure what to expect. But we were soon hooked. We would play for an hour or two then break off and pick it up at the next opportunity. We found ourselves discussing it when we weren’t playing trying to figure out where to go next, how to find another clue, who done it and so forth. By the end of the cruise we had solved it! What we really liked was the interview vignettes and the fantastic evidence bags. We would get so excited when we got to open another one! We also liked that sometimes you needed to circle back and review because things that didn’t seem important, later turned out to be. All in all very well done!
For our first Mysterious Package, I purchased Post Mortem 1 for my father for his birthday. It culminated in multiple family members and many hours spent sleuthing, questioning and solving! We were entranced! We will happily purchasing others in the future.
My husband and I did this on a weekend away and it was such a fun game. Hard enough but not too difficult. Perfect fun.
