A complete, free miniature deduction puzzle from The Impossible Auction. Compare three records, reconstruct a timed handoff, and check your conclusion. Play solo or together in your browser. Original fiction, made with substantial AI assistance in writing and code. The separate full case has four evidence roles; an optional unpaid four-adult group playtest is capped at ten group grants and closes November 7, 2026. No player account or payment is required for the sample or playtest.
Read the three evidence cards, work backward from the photograph time, select a ticket and choose Check the ticket. Wrong answers give a nudge; a correct answer explains the deduction. For the separate group playtest, use the full-case playtest button on our site. Four adults play together in person or on their own voice call, one evidence desk each. The 25–35 minute full-case duration is an unvalidated target.
