The game takes place within the world of Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot. The story begins when the body of Harrington Pace is found dead in his bed. From there, The Mystery of Hunter’s Lodge becomes a race for players to solve the crime before it’s too late.
Players join the story when Captain Arthur Hastings, Poirot’s constant companion who chronicles and catalogs cases, receives a telegram from Pace’s niece informing him that her uncle-in-law has been murdered. However, Poirot is down with a bad case of influenza, and as Hastings is a soldier and not a detective, this puts him in a terrible bind. Determined to still solve the case, Hastings turns to players for help in finding the killer.
Soon, players are faced with a lodge full of suspects who have motives and seemingly ironclad alibis. Players will work with materials provided by Captain Hastings to analyze evidence, decode puzzles, and discover the suspects' means, motive, and opportunity.
The Mystery of Hunter’s Lodge is an all-in-one box containing all the clues needed to solve the case. The game includes realistic crime scene reports, documents, personal effects from characters, maps, key records, and more.
