] STORY OF...

My dream was to create a crime solving experience that would go over and beyond anything that was ever created.

It took me over two years and 100 playtests to make "Woodlock University" the perfect cold case.

A couple of weeks later, I was on TV introducing it to over 2 million people. The rest is history: it's now the most popular Murder Mystery game in Europe.

I couldn't be more thrilled... and so will you.
