Vacations are rare for the Will Street Detective Agency staff, but only a fool would pass up the opportunity to spend a week in Cape Anna, a sleepy, seaside town on the northeast coast. The trip is a fringe benefit of a speaking engagement you had earlier in the day at a symposium on modern day crime-solving techniques. Now that you've given your presentation, you are free for the rest of the week to do nothing but sample all the fresh seafood, bask in the warm sunshine, and revel in the complete lack of responsibility. The activity at the top of your “to-do” list is to stop by the town’s Founder’s Festival. You've read a lot of interesting stories about the festival and the town itself and think it would be a shame to miss this opportunity. You reconsider your position on the matter when you arrive at the festival and see an all too familiar site at the end of a row of tents - police tape. The stark yellow tape seems out of place in such an idyllic locale. As you move closer, you see two men wearing Murphree County Coroner shirts carrying a black body bag. The sheriff’s deputies who are attempting to investigate the scene seem to be in over their heads. The head detective on the case, Ryan Clark, recognizes you from the symposium and informs you that they've never seen a case quite like this before. Given your expertise, Clark asks if you’d like to help them on this investigation. He promises all the lobster rolls and blueberry pie you can eat! How can you say no to that? Pull back the curtain and examine the dark heart that beats beneath this sleepy, seaside town. Can you solve the Murder at Cape Anna?

As with all Deadbolt Mystery Society games, you step into the role of the detective. Examining the evidence provided, visiting different locations and using the password protected QR mechanic to uncover the truth.

Players win once they catch the killer, find what's missing or whatever else is needed to solve the case at hand.
