A mystery game online, on your phone
Each case is a short mystery that plays in your phone's web browser. A narrator rings you, pulls you into the story and stays on the line while you work. Every spoken line is on screen too, so you can play with the sound off.
The clues come to you on the screen: a log to read, a signal to tune, a code to crack. Solve one and the story moves on. Get stuck and a hint costs you time, never money.
Play alone with headphones in, or gather round one phone and argue it out together. Your progress saves as you go, so you can stop and pick it up later. Stay on the Line (15+) is free from start to finish, and more cases are on the way.
Questions about playing at home
Are these murder mysteries?
They're mysteries, and not every case is a murder. Stay on the Line (15+) is a thriller: a voice on the phone, a smart house turning against you, and one night to lock it down.
Do I need to go anywhere?
No. These games play on your phone wherever you are: on the couch, in bed or on a rainy afternoon. No travel and no location needed.
Do I need an app?
No. They play in your phone's web browser. Open the case file and tap Play.
Is it free?
Stay on the Line is free from start to finish, and so are our party games. The at-home cases are A$5 at launch until 31 March 2027, then A$8.
How long do they take?
Stay on the Line takes about 25 minutes and The Keeper's Log about 10 to 15. Each case file gives the time.
Can we play together?
Yes. Gather round one phone and solve it as a team.
Is it suitable for kids?
Check each case file. Stay on the Line is for players aged 15 and over; players under 18 play with a parent or guardian.
