Murder on the Titanic: Inside Our Second Case File
April 1912. The unsinkable ship. A first-class murder. Murder on the Titanic is live and playable today.
Updated July 2026: this post was originally published in January 2026 as a preview. Murder on the Titanic has since launched and is one of two live case files, alongside Blackwood Manor. Details below have been updated to reflect that.
We kept this quiet for months. Testing in secret. Refining in shadows. Then the time came to reveal what lurks beneath the surface.
BACKSTABBERS set sail.
Murder on the Titanic
April 14th, 1912. The grandest ocean liner ever built cuts through the dark Atlantic on her maiden voyage. Champagne flows in the first-class dining saloon. The orchestra plays. Wealthy passengers toast to fortune and future.
Then someone turns up dead.
An Entirely New Setting
This is not simply a reskin of Blackwood Manor with nautical wallpaper. The Titanic scenario rebuilds the experience from the hull up.
Eleven distinct locations across the ship: the Grand Staircase, First Class Dining Saloon, Smoking Room, Promenade Deck, Captain's Quarters, Turkish Baths, and more. Each rendered with period-accurate detail.
Eight new suspects drawn from Edwardian high society: shipping magnates, society widows, ambitious engineers, mysterious passengers with secrets that predate their boarding.
New external contacts including the Ship's Doctor, the Master-at-Arms, passengers from adjacent staterooms, and a stoker from the boiler room who sees things the first-class passengers prefer to ignore.
The Ticking Clock
You know what happens to the Titanic. Everyone knows. This creates a unique tension that the manor setting cannot replicate.
You must solve the murder before... well. Before circumstances make it irrelevant.
