Under the Floorboards

The case

In August 2026, three siblings meet at their childhood home on the island of Moen to get it ready for sale after their mother, Ruth Vester, has died.

Under a loose floorboard they find a tin box: a baptism certificate, an old letter and a photo of a girl nobody can quite place. At the same time they discover that the family’s most precious piece of land – the old orchard, plot 14b – was sold on paper in June, while none of them were there.

Did the inheritance disappear lawfully – or has someone close to the family forged its history?

Your mission

• Find out who arranged the sale of plot 14b – and how.
• Find out what the original power of attorney actually allowed.

How Game Night works

1. Print the case file (21 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.
