CASE 2
Diamonds are Forever

Intro

Dear Players,

Welcome to our latest online escape game ‘Diamonds are forever.’ This is a challenge which can only be played digitally.

For best results, we recommend you play the game on a computer rather than on a mobile device. This way you will have full view of the evidence, and particularly, sufficient representation of the pictures. You can, of course, supplement your investigations using additional mobile devices. We would advise you to keep your tabs open until the end, as these might reveal valuable additional information to you later on in the game.

The game requirements for playing your game are as follows:

• At least one active email address (multiple addresses if possible)
• Paper and pen (for taking notes on names, motives and alibis)

This game is recommended for a team of 2 to 4 players. It can be played successfully with as few as 1 to as many as 6 players.

In the following you will find your instructions, should you accept the mission.

Rummage through all provided documentation and read through each item carefully. Do not limit yourself to the items provided on the next page. Instead, mobilize all additional links and leads for your investigations. Some of the evidence will be harder to find and might only be accessible by solving a puzzle or task.

You can easily invite multiple players from multiple locations to your game. Share your access code with up to 6 people and set up a joint communication platform such as Skype, Discord or similar, to share information and to discuss your strategy.

If you feel stuck during any part of the game, we have developed an extensive help system which you can access in order to get back on track. You can do this by going to the next screen and navigating through to the kind of help you require. Materials not specifically identified as part of the ‘help system’ belong to the game itself.

We wish you all the best and, most of all, an enjoyable mission!
