Mystery Maps: Murder in Fremantle

A cosy time-travel murder mystery

What if time travel existed…
…and someone used it to commit murder?

Mystery Maps: Murder in Fremantle is a solo, story-driven puzzle experience that sits somewhere between a choose-your-own-adventure book and a logic deduction puzzle.

You’ll explore a seaside town as a time-travelling detective, piecing together clues across different eras to uncover the truth behind a murder that shouldn’t have been possible.

No timers.
No pressure.
Just you, a map, a journal, and a mystery slowly clicking into place.

What you actually do

This isn’t a wall of text, it’s a guided narrative.

• Start with a beautifully illustrated A3/A4 map of Fremantle
• Choose where (and when) to investigate
• Read short narrative journal entries
• Answer light questions to unlock new paths through time
• Deduce the killer using classic logic-puzzle deduction

Every choice moves the story forward. Every location reveals a little more of the world.

Think Agatha Christie meets Doctor Who.

The story

It’s 1983.
A local Fremantle pharmacist has been murdered in Town Hall — stabbed, and left beside the unmistakable traces of time-travel technology.

Five suspects.
Multiple eras.
One timeline.

You are a newly recruited agent for a time travel organisation tasked with policing temporal crime.

Your case: travel across Fremantle’s past and future, follow the clues, and identify who committed the murder, with what weapon, and in what year.

If you like slow reveals, clever worldbuilding, and “ohhh, that makes sense” moments… you’re in the right place.

What’s in the envelope

• 🗺️ A3 illustrated Mystery Map of Fremantle
• 📖 24-page game booklet (narrative + puzzles)
  

No apps. No QR codes. No setup beyond a pen and a comfy spot to sit.

Who this is for

This is designed for solo puzzle and mystery lovers, especially if you enjoy:

• Narrative games

How long does it take?

🕰️ Around 90 minutes, depending on how deeply you linger in the story.

Play it in one sitting, or pause and return — the experience is entirely self-paced.

Replayability

A map.
A mystery.
And a single, inevitable truth waiting to be uncovered.
