Murder mysteries to solve together
Lantern Files
One case. One phone each. One evening. Everyone gets a personal trail of clues. You read, argue and point out the culprit, each locking in an answer in secret, and it all comes out at once.
No app to download. A case takes about an hour.
Our first two cases are written in Swedish. English cases are in the works. Join the list and we will tell you when the first one is ready.
How it works
- 1
Create a room
Pick a case and share the four-character code. Everyone joins from their own phone.
- 2
Read your own trail
Everyone gets shared documents plus a personal trail that only you can see.
- 3
Talk it through and lock your answer
Discuss around the table. When you are ready, each of you secretly picks who, how and why.
- 4
The reveal
All answers show at once. Scoring: 5 for who, 3 for how and 2 for why.

Questions
- What does it cost?
- It is free to try right now. We will set a price once we know what works best.

- How many can play?
- Up to six players in one room.
- Who writes the cases?
- The cases are fictional. They are written with the help of AI, and each case is solved by a separate reviewer before release to check that the clues really lead to an answer.
