Case #1 in the Cipher & Clue Series

Start Solving Now
Olivia Harrow was found dead in her Harborview Tower apartment on a quiet night in Saint Cloud City. The official report calls it an accident. Her family and friends insist it was something different...and the documents surrounding her final hours may not agree with each other.
Your job is to read the case file, compare the accounts, and uncover what really happened before the case goes cold.

Submit Your Findings
Start with the official documents. Read the police reports, witness statements, and forensic analysis. Get familiar with the people, the timeline, and the night in question.
Something doesn't add up — and it's your job to find it. Cross-reference statements against physical evidence. Compare timelines. Notice what doesn't match.
New evidence packets unlock as you progress. Each one introduces documents the original investigation missed — private records, digital forensics, and details that change everything you thought you knew.
When you've built your theory, submit your conclusions through Sterling Investigation's secure verification portal. Find out if your investigation holds up — or if the real answer was hiding in plain sight.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How long does the case take to solve?
Most investigators spend 3–5 hours on The Last Night of Olivia Harrow, though some take longer to re-examine evidence. You can play in one sitting or spread it across multiple sessions.
Q: Can I play solo?
Absolutely. The case is designed to work beautifully for a single investigator. It's also excellent with 2–4 players.
Q: What's the difference between the digital and physical versions?
The content is identical. The digital version ($20) gives you instant access as a PDF you can view on any device or print at home. The physical version ($35) is a professionally printed, archival-quality case file shipped to your door — organized into gated evidence packets for a guided experience.
Q: Is this appropriate for teens?
The case involves a death investigation with mature themes handled tastefully. We recommend ages 14 and up.
Q: Do I need any other materials to play?
Just the case file and your attention to detail. A notebook and pen are helpful for tracking clues, but not required. No apps, no downloads, no external tools needed.
Q: What is the verification portal?
When you think you've solved the case, you'll submit your findings through the Sterling Investigation online portal at cipherclue.com/verify. It confirms whether your conclusions are correct and provides the full solution breakdown.
Q: Can I replay the case or share it with friends?
Since the case has a definitive solution, replay value is limited once solved. But the physical kit makes a great pass-along gift, and the digital version can be shared for group play.
