A brand-new murder mystery, written just for you, to fair-play rules.
Candle & Dagger writes you a complete, solvable whodunit on demand: a victim, a room full of painted suspects, tangled motives, real clues and a few deliberate red herrings. Read the case, weigh the evidence, then name the killer before the curtain falls.
No walkthroughs to look up: every case is new. Just you, the clues, and that delicious moment when the pieces click.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
• Fair-play cases — written so the culprit can be deduced from clues you've read, then checked by a second AI pass
• Painted suspects — each cast gets its own AI-painted portraits
• Read to me — a narrator reads your case aloud, even with the screen off
• Set the stage — 12 settings from snowbound manors to ocean liners, 10 eras from medieval to the near future, and 8 tones from cozy to noir, gothic or comic
• Cast your friends — put people you know in the frame as suspects
• Ambient score — an atmospheric soundtrack for every tone
• Sequels & series — bring your favorite detective back for another case
• Challenge a friend — share a case and see who cracks it first
• Made for iPhone Duo — open it up and your case becomes a book: the story on one page, the case file on the other
HOW IT WORKS
1. Tap Begin for tonight's case — or choose the setting, era, tone and challenge yourself
2. Read the chapters and study the suspects
3. Gather clues in your casebook (or hunt for them yourself in Detective mode)
4. Make your accusation — then watch the detective unmask the truth
FREE TO TRY
Every install includes two complete demo cases, narrated free. No sign-up and no account: just open the app and start reading.
A Full Access subscription unlocks the writer's desk: new cases on demand (8 a week on the weekly plan, 20 a month on the monthly plan, 12 a month on the annual plan), custom suspects, sequels and every setting and era. Each new case uses one credit; narrating a case uses two to four more, depending on its length. New subscribers can start with a 3-day free trial where eligible.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Unused credits don't roll over.
