Ai-Q Labs
Japanese-style murder mysteries in English. Every clue is a document — no props, no artwork, nothing to assemble — so they play the same over voice chat as they do around a table.
One host and 2 to 7 players, 60 to 180 minutes, printable PDF — and one title that needs no host at all. Many of them end without a vote: you sign a record, choose a script, or decide what the company says happened.
