A whodunit deduction game for one player or a full table of detectives. Manor Mystery casts you as a detective investigating a crime at a manor house โ€” move through nine rooms, gather clues, and narrow down the suspect, weapon, and room before anyone else does. PLAY SOLO Face 2 to 5 AI rival detectives at your choice of difficulty. The AI reasons about the same clues you do โ€” no scripted hints, no lookup tables. DEDUCTION NOTEBOOK The app fills in every fact you've proven automatically, so you never lose track of what you already know. Pencil in your own hunches for everything else, exactly like a paper notebook. PLAY WITH FRIENDS, NO INTERNET NEEDED Gather 2 to 6 players on their own phones in the same room. One hosts, everyone else joins over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth โ€” no accounts, no server, no internet connection required. WATCH ON THE BIG SCREEN Mirror the board to an Apple TV or a Mac over AirPlay for a shared spectator view everyone can see, with no player's private cards shown. Six original detectives, six weapons, nine rooms, secret passages, and a full accusation system. No ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts, no data collection.
