About This Game Journey
The verdict was wrong. Prove it.
This Whodunit game gets you exploring Mount Barker in 1873. Do it solo or with a friend. Visit the evidence location sites, compare what each building looked like back then, read about the place and the evidence, examine every suspect’s alibi — then make your accusation.
The stove was supposed to have been removed. The master key is missing from its hook. And nobody will name the gentleman who was seen at the inn that night.
Seven stops. Seven pieces of evidence. The inn still stands. The police station still stands. The foundry, the church, the courthouse — they’re all here, exactly where they were a hundred and fifty years ago.
Somewhere in Mount Barker’s colonial past, someone got away with murder. It’s time to name them. Good luck, Detective.

The Evidence Trail
Seven stops. No spoilers.
Each location unlocks only when you arrive. Here’s the shape of the walk — not what you’ll find.
The Inn
Where the bodies were found. Still standing, still trading.
The Police Station
Twenty metres away. Nobody heard a thing.
The Foundry
Where the smith worked his last day.
The Courthouse
Where the inquest was rushed through.
The Church
Two burials, one week apart, and a missing record.
The Stables
The stable boy’s world — and who he answered to.
The Final Stop
Where the last piece falls into place. Then you accuse.
Make Your Accusation
Three answers. One shot.
Gather the evidence, then lock in your verdict. Get all three right and the case is yours.
