9×9 White Wedding
A wedding hall draped in white roses, champagne flutes catching the chandelier light. The bride and groom are exchanging vows when a sharp sound comes from the back pew — someone has found a different way to make 'til death do us part' come early.
8×8 Hell's Kitchen
The back kitchen of a Michelin-starred restaurant, flames roaring, knives flashing. The head chef is screaming at the line cooks — but in this hellishly busy kitchen, someone isn't just cooking up a perfect dish. They're cooking up a perfect alibi.
9×9 Lakeside Cabin
A remote lakeside cabin, campfire light flickering against the window, the lake reflecting a sky full of stars. Old friends have gathered for a weekend getaway — but the neighbor across the lake notices the cabin lights stayed on all night, and on Sunday morning, only five people walk out. Six walked in.
9×9 Surprise Visitors
An ordinary family's weekend afternoon, the doorbell ringing one after another. An uninvited visitor, a relative who dropped in unexpectedly, the new neighbor from down the street — and one of them brought more than a housewarming gift.
9×9 Freezing Rain
A sudden freezing rainstorm has hit a small town — roads iced over, phone lines down. Inside an old house, people stranded by the weather huddle around the fireplace. When the power comes back and the de-icing trucks finally arrive, someone on the living room sofa has grown colder than the storm outside.
8×8 The Barbershop
An old-town barbershop, its rotating pole spinning lazily in the afternoon sun. A few regulars are waiting their turn, mirrors reflecting every face in the room. As the barber shakes out the cape for the next customer, the scissors haven't even been picked up yet — but someone is already bleeding more than a nick.
9×9 The Art School
An art school where studio lights are still on late into the night, student work scattered across every surface. The end-of-term exhibition opens tomorrow — but in front of an unsubmitted installation piece lies someone who will never pick up a brush again.
9×9 Preppers
Deep in the woods, far from any town, a fully stocked underground bunker hides beneath the earth. A group of survivalists has stored years of food and ammunition — but the disaster they should have been preparing for was already inside the bunker with them.
12×12 Holiday Shopping
A shopping mall on Christmas Eve — crowds surging, holiday music blaring. Every store has a line at the register, cash drawers ringing nonstop. In a fitting room deep in the discount section, someone has tried on an outfit they will never take off.
Recently Updated 8×8 Lake Fishing
A peaceful lake becomes the backdrop for a chilling discovery. Anglers, hikers, and dock workers each had their own story, but one of them knew more than they let on. By the time the sun set behind the pines, a body was found — and the only witness was the silent water.
Recently Updated 9×9 Discord Island
A gathering on Discord Island brings familiar community members into spaces named for book discussion, puzzle help, creations, and online play. When Garand is found alone with the killer, the channel map becomes the crime scene.
