The Other Name

The case

At 05:42 on 3 March 2026, a confused woman is found by the ticket machine on the ferry quay in Sundby – no bag, no phone, no name. She slowly starts calling herself Liv, and Signe Birk gives her a room and work at her small guesthouse.

Eight months later, in October, an anonymous envelope arrives at the guesthouse. Inside is a photo of Liv at a yellow gate with a small boy, and on the back: YOU PROMISED TO COME BACK. At the same time, strangers begin asking for her – and a man turns up who says he is her husband.

The Birk family want to know who Liv was – and who is trying to fetch her home. Mature theme · 16+: this case deals with a controlling relationship. Nothing graphic is described.

Your mission

• Find out who Liv really is, and why she was on the ferry quay.
• Find out who sent the photo – and on whose orders.
• Decide what the right next step is for Liv.
• Back up your conclusion with at least four document numbers.

How Game Night works

1. Print the case file (22 documents) and sort it into the START folder and 2 sealed envelopes. The first page tells you how.
2. Investigate at the table. Share out the documents, compare times and statements, and argue it out. Your phone just stays on the table.
3. Open the envelopes when you've cracked each checkpoint. The site checks your answer and gives hints if you get stuck (each costs a point).
4. Make your accusation together: the culprit, three key questions and at least four pieces of evidence. You score up to 20 points – then reveal the full solution.
