problem
Traditional tabletop mystery games often feel disconnected from modern technology, while purely digital games lack tactile satisfaction. The goal was to bridge this gap to increase user immersion, allowing players to feel like real detectives investigating a cold case.
solution
I created a hybrid ecosystem where subscribers receive a monthly physical dossier of tactile evidence that integrates seamlessly with a custom digital "command center". This system requires users to cross-reference physical clues with digital databases and suspect profiles, simulating the actual multi-platform workflow of a modern investigation.
I designed the full product ecosystem, bridging physical manufacturing with digital UI/UX. I created the tactile evidence dossiers, selecting materials that felt authentic to a police file, and simultaneously designed the user interface for the digital "command center". My contribution focused on the user journey, ensuring the friction between the physical clues and the digital database felt intuitive and immersive.
