Help with your case

The Ninth Step. A fictional detective case to download, print and solve. One purchase includes all four editions. Store policies are linked below.

Open your download

Save and extract the main download ZIP. If it contains edition ZIPs, choose A4 or US Letter, colour or low-ink, and extract that edition ZIP too. Open OPEN-FIRST.html inside the extracted edition, then 00-Print-and-Setup-Guide.pdf.

Print and play

Match your paper size, print single-sided at 100% / Actual size, and check a sample first. Begin with the 20 pages in the start/answer sheet and evidence PDFs. Keep 03-Optional-Hints.pdf and 04-Solution.pdf separate until you want them.

The case has 25 core pages including hints and solution. The 60–90 minute duration is a target; physical printing and blind human playtesting remain pending.
