Alibi archive

What each day holds

Every Alibi case is self-contained. A death at a country house last night, a small cast of suspects with statements, evidence scattered across the rooms. You don't need to solve in order — pick any date, read the rail, and place each soul where they swear they were. The logic stands alone.

Weekday cases open easy. Monday and Tuesday are quick verdicts. The casebook tightens through midweek. By Friday and Saturday it's the full board with a dozen pieces to fit. Sunday holds the week's deepest case — the one that takes a week to earn.

Archive questions

How far back can I play?

The past 7 days stay open for everyone. The archive goes back to May 4, 2026 and grows by one case every midnight Eastern. Subscribers can replay any case in the casebook.

Does each case stand alone?

Completely. You can jump to any date and solve that case fresh. There's no running mystery thread — each entry is its own Inspector Parker–style casebook.

Are some cases harder than others?

Yes, by design. Monday and Tuesday open easy. Wednesday tightens. Thursday adds more constraints. Friday and Saturday grow to the full board, with twelve suspects and twelve pieces to fit. Sunday is the capstone — the deepest case of the week.

Will I see spoilers if I jump around dates?

No. Each case's verdict is locked to that date. Solving one tells you nothing about any other.

How do I share a specific case?

Every archive day has its own URL — bookmark or share any date page and the case file lives there permanently.
