The Fiancé

Jake has a second phone that nobody is supposed to know about. You have it now, and it’s still getting messages. Read his chats, mails and photos as the week goes on, and decide what he’s hiding from Emma before it all comes out.

A mystery about love and lies, not murder. It’s the gentlest case in the library and the best one to start with.

How you play it

• Read anything on the phone. Its clock moves on as you read, and new messages keep arriving.
• When you think you know, accuse. You get one chance, and the earlier you’re right, the more you score.
• Right? The rest of the story plays out, then you prove it with five questions.
