Latest revision as of 10:25, 28 December 2018

Sleuth Kings is a monthly mystery experience where you work with Lead Detective Sullivan King via email to help him solve a case. The first three cases were designed with a more linear progression than the current freeform format.[1] An updated version of Case 001: The Guilty became available on August 24th, 2018 and includes "My Dog, The Man-Beast"[2], a book containing community-submitted dog poems.[3] A new case box was also released in August 2018[4] and was designed by S. Christine Brink.[5][6]

Publisher summary

Each month Sullivan will send you a case file with information about the current investigation. After reading through the files, you will be able to email Sullivan and begin working with him. Once you've helped Sullivan crack the case, you will receive a small reward in the mail along with an update on Sullivan's search of his missing father, Isaac. In addition, for every 4 cases you solve, you'll be rewarded with a FREE bonus case that revolves around the hunt for Isaac, Sullivan's father.[7]
