Mystery Synopsis:
The Sphere of Solidarity controls the peace and harmony within the Universe. This artifact has been under the control and protection of a clandestine group of humans for centuries. The Sphere was recently transported from Area 51 to the Space Station Phoenix (SSP)– the newest modular station in low Earth orbit. Three participating agencies protect The Sphere: the International Aeronautics and Space Administration (IASA), Brannon Industries, and the United States Space Force (USSF). Space Station Phoenix is an exclusive, top-secret project. Still, there have been rumblings that an enemy spy has infiltrated one of the three organizations who oversee and operate the station. Every six months, the crew must switch out at the station and renew the supplies. Mission Firedrake launched last month with great success, and the previous team has already returned safely to Earth. The Firedrake crew is now in control of SSP, but something is awry. Commander Maroon doesn’t know who to trust and is afraid that something dreadful is on the horizon.
If anything happens to The Sphere, the Universe will be catapulted into a dangerous state of disarray as never seen before. You are part of the Firedrake crew who is on the station for a six-month stay. This is where your story begins.

Great Fun High Quality Package
Our group (all ex university friends and their partners) have had a lot of experience with online group games including murder mystery, panic rooms etc. the quality in this market is highly variable and thus we were very pleased with the thought and creativity put into this package. We will be back.

Super fun!
I played this over zoom with my family this weekend. It was a lot of fun. It's nice that you have extra tasks to do and not just character conversation. This means extra character don't have to say they are extra and actually get to to participate. I have play other games with extra characters and they were just kind of hanging out. We had a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend it. I like that the characters are gender neutral so you don't have to hunt for x guys and x girls. No one is having an affair or in love to it's kid friendly. We played with my 10 year old nephew.
