50 Clues: Dead or Alive

Players take the role of detectives reopening a four-year-old case after new information surfaces about the main suspect. The game presents an episodic, narrative-driven investigation in which players examine evidence, combine objects, solve puzzles and decode messages to advance the story. A companion app (smartphone or tablet) records solutions, delivers the next steps and offers multistage hints. The format recreates an escape-room experience at home, emphasizing puzzle-solving, clue interpretation and narrative discovery over competitive scoring.
