A real city and a fictional case
In the fictional Halmstad of 1904, brewery owner Herman Lindahl is found murdered in his office three days before his daughter's wedding. An important agreement has been thwarted. You investigate who had the most to lose, without being served the answer in the opening sentences of the story.
Find the statue at Norre port before the first part
The designated starting point is the 91:an Karlsson statue next to Norre port. Open the game instructions there instead of starting at any location along Nissan. Destination Halmstad describes Norre port as a preserved part of the city's older fortifications, but you do not need to read up on fortification history to play. The tasks provide the context you need to work with, and the map shows the continuation of the mystery's route.
From purchase to the first task
Select Mobile version on the product page and complete the purchase. The activation code and game link will be sent by email. Open the link in your mobile browser, enter the code, and follow the instructions. No app needs to be downloaded, and no booklet is sent by post. When you are ready, confirm the start of the game period; from that confirmation, you have seven days. Simply entering the code and opening Mina spel does not start the timer.
Keep the map, interrogations, and evidence close at hand
The mystery is divided into eight parts. Read the tasks, listen to the interrogations, and compare the evidence in the same game. The map helps you between locations, and you can use clues if you get stuck. Have a charged mobile phone with an internet connection, and it is a good idea to bring an extra battery if the phone has already been used extensively during the day. The material is digital, but you make the observations in the real environment.
Let the thwarted agreement be a question
In the story, both a wedding and a thwarted agreement are close to the murder. You need to investigate how these are connected, not decide in advance which motive sounds the most dramatic. Listen to the interrogations and compare them with the other evidence. If you play together, you can have different people summarize different tasks. The Mobile version provides the same story as the booklet; the change in format does not mean you will get a new case if you already know the solution.
Choose a format for the case you want to solve
The Mobile version and the physical booklet contain the same story, locations, and puzzles. Choose the mobile version if you want to receive the material by email and avoid postal delivery. If you have already solved the same mystery, changing the format will not give you a new solution to discover. Always check the product's current information before purchasing, and choose a different case if you want a completely new investigation.
