Detective Case File 001: Angelo
THE COLLECTOR HAS STRUCK AGAIN.
A wine’s identity has been altered, and Inspector Corker needs your help to restore it.
Detective Case File 001: Angelo is an immersive physical mystery game from The Cellar Archive. Spread the evidence across the table, follow The Collector’s movements, interrogate his version of events and determine the true identity of the wine he has attempted to disguise.
You don’t need to know anything about wine before you begin. Everything you need to solve the investigation is hidden within the evidence.
YOUR INVESTIGATION
The Collector has created his own Field Guide containing what he claims to be the wine’s true identity.
Some of it is correct.
Some of it has been altered.
Your task is to examine every piece of recovered evidence, compare it against his claims and decide what can be trusted.
Cross out the details the evidence disproves. Keep those it confirms. Piece together the clues until you can reconstruct the wine’s true identity.
But remember: The Collector does not lie about everything. Trust the evidence, not your assumptions.

CASE 001 Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆
