When the Penny Drops is an episodic detective game for 3-6 players, including a facilitator. In it, you take on the role of an investigator who seeks to shed light on mysterious cases, while the facilitator plays as the Culprit, guiding players as they piece together the clues left behind and find what connections exist between them. A typical run of this game can take on the form of a single case, or an ongoing episodic story spanning several different cases. Within the pages of When the Penny Drops, you’ll find:

  • 8 Investigator Profiles made for quick and easy character creation
  • 3 sample cases so you can jump into play immediately
  • Rules for creating and using your own cases

Inspired by our mutual fondness of crime procedurals like Columbo, Poirot and many other, When the Penny Drops can accommodate detective stories from serious and gritty noir to over-the-top camp.
