Murder on the Meridian

Ten decks. 40,000 suspects. One killer.

The MV Meridian's last voyage was meant to be a farewell. Three nights of parties off Port Melbourne, then a final trip to the scrapyard.

Then the purser was found dead in the archive room, her pen still on the page. She was halfway through writing a name. The police have locked up the wrong person. At noon the ship sails, and every suspect sails with it.

Now the evidence is in your hands: statements, logs, a coffee-stained ledger and a complete passenger manifest of 40,000 names. Every clue rules people out. Only one name survives.

Can you find the killer before the Meridian sails?

How it works

01 / ReadA letter, a crime scene and a file of evidence: statements, receipts, notes and logs.
02 / EliminateEach clue rules out part of the 40,000-name register. Cross them off with a pen or highlighter.
03 / SolveWhen one name is left, open the sealed pages at the back to find out if you're right.

No special skills needed, just a pen, a sharp eye and a lot of nerve.
