A group of friends in Wadköping can do more than just walk around and look at the houses. With a mobile murder mystery, you get a shared investigation to follow, without anyone having to hand out roles or write their own mystery first. You play on site among the city blocks in Örebro and have the material in your web browser. Here is how you keep the whole group involved.

Explain the fiction before the first theory
The case uses Hjalmar Bergman in a fictional murder story. Say this clearly when you read the introduction so that no one perceives the game as a historical account. You are to investigate the information in the mystery and compare it with what the tasks ask you to look at, not Google a real death. Gather at the silhouette by the western entrance so that the whole group can start together.
Make room for other visitors
Wadköping is not a private game board for your group. Stand aside when you read and avoid having a group discussion block an entrance. Let someone read aloud and turn the screen so that the others can see the evidence. When you need to listen to an interrogation, do so with consideration for the surroundings. Practical consideration also makes for better conversation: it is easier to participate when the group stands together without being in the way.
Distinguish a shared investigation from multiple teams
If you want to cooperate, you do not need to appoint a winner. Give everyone space to say which clues they believe in before the group chooses a direction. If you instead divide yourselves into smaller teams, you plan separate codes and a joint gathering afterwards. A two-pack or three-pack provides several activation codes, not new mysteries or an automatic competition system. Also check the area's current visitor information before everyone books the day.
Check codes and technology before the gathering
A purchased game provides its own code, a two-pack provides two, and a three-pack provides three separate activation codes. Choose according to how you want to divide yourselves and check the product information before purchase. Have access to email, a charged mobile phone, and the internet. 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 cooperate yourselves.
Let the whole group have time to make a decision
Before you move on, everyone can briefly say what they think and what evidence they lean on. Take a hint if the discussion is at a standstill and avoid having anyone open the answer key for the rest prematurely. You have seven days after the game period has started with a special confirmation and can pause during the period. Decide on the practicalities together so that a pause does not mean that some continue while others are still trying to read.

Frequently asked questions
Can we solve the murder mystery in Wadköping directly on our phones?
Yes. Choose the Mobile Version of The Mystery in Wadköping. After purchase, you will receive an activation code and game link by email. The material opens in your web browser, but the game takes place on-site in Wadköping in Örebro.
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 mail. Make sure you have selected the Mobile Version, not the physical format, before completing the purchase.
Where does the mobile mystery in Wadköping begin?
The starting point is Hjalmar Bergman's silhouette at the western entrance to Wadköping. Check the current starting instructions in the game and then follow the map and clues. A casual walk around the area 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 materials. 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 mobile phone?
Make sure everyone gets to see the evidence, read important passages aloud, 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.
