The 9:15 to Blackpool
Casebook deduction. Six closed cases, real evidence, confirmed in threes.
The 9:15 to Blackpool is played in the Android app.
Deduction, not guessing. You are the person they hand the impossible casebook to. No interrogation mini-games, no hidden objects: manifests, timetables, ticket stubs, logbooks and interviews, and your own reasoning.
Six closed cases. A night train standing at Preston. A village fête during the terrier judging. A trawler hove to in fog. A grand hotel at midnight on New Year's Eve. A circus special in the sidings at dawn. And the 9:15 again, a year on.
Confirmed in threes. For each person you enter who they are, where they were, and whether their word can be trusted. You may hold three entries in pencil; when all three are right they take ink together. When they are not, the book says nothing. Brute force cannot converge. Inference can.
Airtight. Every case is proved by a solver to have exactly one solution, reachable from the paper alone. Every statement is true or every statement is a lie, and you learn to tell which.
- Three casebooks, so a case can be started clean.
- No timers, no ads, no accounts, fully offline.
- Large-text and high-contrast options; typography is the art.
- One culprit across all six cases, resolved in the finale.
