Twisted Tales

Español

Card 46 of 82

Death at Sea

A man sitting on a park bench reads a newspaper article headlined "Death at Sea" and knows a murder has been committed.

Solution: The man is a travel agent. He had sold someone two tickets for an ocean voyage: one round-trip and one one-way. The buyer's surname is the same as that of the woman who "fell" overboard and drowned on that voyage, the subject of the article he is reading. The buyer had bought a round trip for himself and a one-way ticket for his wife.
How to play

Twisted Tales is a game of lateral thinking. Each card is a strange, usually macabre situation, and your group has to work out what really happened.

  1. Pick one player as the Game Master (the Narrator). Only the Game Master looks at the screen.
  2. The Game Master reads the prompt on the card out loud, then privately reads the solution using "Show solution".
  3. Everyone else asks questions to piece together the story.
  4. The Game Master may only answer "Yes", "No" or "Irrelevant" (when the question is a dead end).
  5. Keep asking and discussing theories until someone reconstructs the key events. Then the Game Master reads the full solution aloud.
  6. Use "Next" and "Back" to move between cards. You always start from the prompt.
