The AI-Powered Murder Mystery Tabletop
Built for Remote & Local Crews
One Host license unlocks the entire investigation. All your guest detectives join 100% free right from their mobile browsers. Zero app downloads. Zero hidden fees.
How it works
Three steps from purchase to table.
1. Buy a host seat
Pick a tier below on Gumroad. One host purchase covers the whole table — guests never pay.
2. Get your host pass
After payment, recover your host pass on the claim page with your purchase email + Gumroad sale / order id. Your host pass is emailed to your purchase address right after payment (from host@railmystery.xyz — check spam if you don't see it within a few minutes).
3. Open the room
Open the play link (or paste your host pass in the host terminal), create a room, share the short room code. Guests join free from their phones — no app, no account.
After you pay: keep your Gumroad receipt. Use /claim any time to recover your host pass instantly — just enter your purchase email and Gumroad order ID.
Midnight Ferry: The Vanishing at Dead Reckoning
A midnight passenger ferry stalled in dense fog. A former compliance officer found lifeless in a restricted crew corridor—staged as an accidental wet-deck slip, but hiding deliberate manual strangulation. Your crew has four ticking hours before harbor police board at dawn.
Authoritative AI DM
An impartial digital referee that listens to player deduction, protects physical evidence integrity, narrates dynamic clue reveals, and ensures every player has private agency.

What RailMystery Is — And What It Isn't
We believe in radical clarity. Here are our strict project commitments.
🏠 Not a Physical Store or Escape Room Franchise
RailMystery is not an offline brick-and-mortar storefront franchise or physical escape room. There are no physical kits to ship and no physical locks to manage. It runs effortlessly in standard desktop and mobile browsers across your home Wi-Fi, LAN, or over Discord/Zoom with remote friends.
⚖️ 100% Original Independent Mystery (Zero Unlicensed Fan IP)
We strictly do not sell, utilize, or distribute unlicensed fan adaptations, unauthorized video game spin-offs, or trademarked pop-culture properties. Midnight Ferry is a bespoke, 100% original period whodunit penned specifically for tabletop deduction with clean commercial copyright ownership.
