Intent: host-pays · guests-free · phone join

Host pays once. Guests join free from their phones.

No per-player checkout. No app store. One Host license opens the room; 2–4 detectives join from mobile browsers with a short room code — ideal for remote crews and living-room tables.

The problem

Per-seat digital kits kill RSVPs

Asking every friend to buy the same pack (or install another app) is friction. Tables shrink; hosts give up before the first accusation.

Pass-the-laptop is awkward remote

Screen-sharing one device loses private clues. A real murder mystery needs phone-side secrets — without charging each guest.

Our angle: one Host unlocks the whole table

Host-pay · guests-free · phone-first

One purchase covers the room; guests join at $0.
Mobile browser join — no app, no guest account required.
Private digital inventory stays on each guest’s phone.
Paired with fixed-rail fair-solve AI DM (culprit not rewritten mid-game).
