A mobile murder mystery in Båstad is perfect for a group of friends who want a shared task without one friend having to be the game master. You start at Mariakyrkan and follow a fictional case from 1919. The phone keeps the materials organized; the group is responsible for observations and discussion. Here is a plan to ensure more people get involved than just following the person holding the map.

Don't let the bathing hut become a separate treasure hunt
The story of the woman who arrived on the night train can spark many ideas. Feel free to write down what you wonder about, but start at the designated starting point and follow the materials instead of spreading the group out on independent searches. You don't need to look for an actual crime scene from 1919. The case is fictional, and the clues indicate which observations are relevant to this particular investigation.
Have one person argue for a different theory
After reading a piece of evidence, one person can summarize the most obvious explanation, while another tests what evidence contradicts it. Then switch roles. This gives a group of friends a shared way of thinking without everyone having to be equally quick at solving riddles. Keep the discussion going so that no one misses the materials because they are trying to navigate or keep up with the fastest person at the same time.
Plan small groups before buying multiple codes
Decide whether you want to be a single investigative team or several smaller groups that compare conclusions afterward. Multi-packs provide separate activation codes and may suit the latter setup, but a purchase does not automatically create an organized competitive event. Agree on who will receive the game email and who will have a battery and internet access. You will plan food, transportation, and a possible trip to the harbor yourselves, separately from the game.
Check codes and technology before meeting up
A purchased game provides one code, a two-pack provides two, and a three-pack provides three separate activation codes. Choose based on how you want to split up and check the product information before purchasing. Make sure you have access to the email, a charged mobile phone, and internet access. The game opens in the web browser without an app. Do not assume that multiple codes create a synchronized team game; the suggestions for roles and shared theories here describe how you can collaborate yourselves.
Give the whole group time to make a decision
Before moving on, everyone can briefly say what they think and which piece of evidence they are basing it on. Take a clue if the discussion stalls, and avoid having anyone open the answers for the rest of the group prematurely. You have seven days after the game period has been started with a special confirmation, and you can pause during that period. Agree on the practical arrangements together so that a pause does not result in some people continuing while others are still trying to read.

Frequently asked questions
Can we solve the murder mystery in Båstad directly on our phones?
Yes. Choose the Mobile Version of The Mystery in Båstad. After purchase, you will receive an activation code and game link via email. The material opens in your web browser, but the game is played on location in Båstad.
Do we need to download an app or wait for a booklet?
No. The mobile version is played in your phone's web browser with an internet connection. No game booklet is sent by post. Make sure you have selected the Mobile Version, not the physical format, before completing the purchase.
Where does the mobile mystery in Båstad begin?
The starting point is Mariakyrkan in Båstad. Check the current starting instructions in the game and then follow the map and clues. A walk around the area on your own is not the same as the mystery's route.
Does one of us need to be the game master or know the solution?
No. You investigate the case together using the material. The person who arranges the purchase and gathering does not need to read the solution, play a role, or know the culprit in advance.
How do the two-packs and three-packs of the Mobile Version work?
Each purchased game provides its own activation code. A two-pack provides two separate codes, and a three-pack provides three. Decide on the quantity based on your plans, for example, if several smaller groups are going to conduct their own investigations. Multi-packs do not mean multiple different cases.
How can everyone participate when the material is on a phone?
Make sure everyone gets to see the evidence, read out important passages, and take turns holding the phone and summarizing theories. Decide on your collaboration yourselves. This is a practical suggestion, not a promise of a synchronized multiplayer mode.
