Why we are making it

Why this template exists.

You have a few people together and want something to play without writing the puzzles yourself. Case Night is a prepared, document-based mystery we are building in Notion. One person operates the session while the group reads the evidence, discusses the choices and works toward an explained ending.

What you can take away
An explained ending to one original short case, with a session recap and a clear way to pause or stop.

Planned package

What's taking shape.

Here is what we plan to include. The template is not ready to download yet.

One original case with three linked puzzles and six short evidence documents.
Optional hints, an explained ending and a spoiler-conscious host guide.
A clue-only player packet and matching manual-play files.

The planned steps

From case file to explanation.

Open the case

The host reads the setup with the group without needing to read the solutions first.

Compare the evidence

Discuss three linked puzzles, choose an answer and use optional help when needed.

Read the explanation

Read how the evidence fits the ending, then recap the session. If you stop early, keep your place for later.

Who it's for

Is this a fit for you?

You already use Notion and want a prepared mystery for a small adult group.
One person can operate the session while the others read and discuss.
You want a short case rather than a full evening of roleplay.

Worth knowing

Before you use it.

Designed for 3-5 adults in total, including the person operating the session; group play is still being tested.
One case is planned for the first release. Play duration, shared-screen comfort and host participation are not yet verified.
This is a recreational mystery, not workplace training, an authoring tool or a multiplayer app.
We are still testing how people get the template and play it in Notion. The case clues and answers are not shown on this page.

Common questions

Questions before release.

Can we play Case Night now?

Not yet. We are still testing the full session in Notion and how groups play without help from us.

Does everyone need a Notion account?

The planned flow uses one host account. Other players read and discuss through a shared screen or clue-only packet. The group experience still needs testing.

Is this a full game night or a case-writing tool?

No. The first release is one prepared short case. It does not include a long party game, role packs, a subscription or tools for writing new cases.
