A crumbling estate. A contested will. And a body that shouldn't be there.
When the Artemis family gathers at Thornfield Manor for the reading of patriarch Edmund Artemis's will, no one expects the evening to end in murder. Edmund has been dead for three days. His solicitor has flown in from London. And every person in that drawing room stands to inherit — or lose — a fortune.
By midnight, one of them is dead. And the will has vanished.
What Kind of Case Is This?
The Artemis Inheritance is a character-driven mystery built around motive, deception, and the quiet violence of old money. Expect:
- A cast of morally complex suspects, each with something to hide
- Financial documents, private correspondence, and a redacted legal file among the evidence
- A solution that rewards careful reading — not lucky guessing
- Rich atmosphere: think candlelit dining rooms, locked studies, and secrets buried for decades
Who Is It For?
This case is ideal for groups who enjoy psychological depth over action. If your players love Agatha Christie, slow-burn thrillers, or the satisfaction of a perfectly constructed alibi unravelling — The Artemis Inheritance is your case.
Players: 4–8 | Duration: 2–3 hours | Difficulty: Medium
A Note on Spoilers
We won't tell you who did it. We won't even tell you who the victim is. What we will tell you is that the solution is fair, the clues are all there from the beginning, and at least one person at your table will be absolutely certain they've solved it — and be completely wrong.
