Velvet & Gunpowder | Two-Player Cooperative Reading Mystery

Velvet & Gunpowder is a complete cooperative reading mystery for two adults, set in a fictional Chicago speakeasy in 1924. A gunshot interrupts Leo and Ruby's private evening. His oldest lieutenant is dead, someone in his crew has betrayed him, and an hour of story time stands between the lovers and disaster.

What's inside

• Ten English PDFs: five reading files and matching black-and-white copies, plus a quick-start text guide.
• 58 unique pages per presentation, 116 PDF pages total: setup, Case File, Leo and Ruby dossiers and separate Solution.
• Three written ciphers, crew suspects, movement records, notebooks and three emotional endings.

Your investigation

Read private roles separately, work through the three-act case and decode the supplied Morse, number-letter and menu-price puzzles before opening the Solution.

Designed for 2 readers in English, with no separate host; allow 75–105 minutes as a planning estimate, at your own pace. Use a PDF reader and ordinary notes; screen reading or optional US Letter printing both work, and social or atmosphere prompts may be skipped.

Good to know

• Fictional shooting, explosive threats, organised crime, gambling debt, betrayal and adult relationship secrets; the story's hour is not a real deadline, and dangerous actions are not reenacted.
• Personal, private play only; no resale, public redistribution or paid hosted events, and notes are kept separately from the static PDF pages.

Delivery

Instant digital download after successful payment; no physical item is shipped. Unzip the files and read the quick-start guide first. Need help? Email support@peekcraft.com or visit Download help.
