The Last Crossing
An ocean liner, one night in the 1930s and a passenger register of 3,500 names. Read the clues, cross out suspects and find the one name left.
- 3,500 passengers and crew in the register
- 24 clues in 3 chapters
- A checkpoint after every chapter
- Hints in 3 levels, and the full solution
How to play
1. Read the register
Everyone aboard is listed with their cabin, age, job and more.
2. Follow the clues
Each clue rules some people out. Cross them off as you go.
3. Check your progress
At each checkpoint, count who is left. If the number matches, you are on track.
Questions
Do I need to have solved puzzles before?
No. The book starts with a short guide and a worked example. If you get stuck, every clue has three levels of hints.
What do I need?
A pencil and some patience. Everything else is in the book: the register, the evidence and the clues.
How do I know I am on the right track?
Each chapter ends with a checkpoint: the number of suspects you should have left. The full solution is at the back.
Is it a novel or a puzzle book?
Both, in a way. A short story runs between the chapters, but the mystery is solved by you, with the clues.
Who is Rosalind Graves?
Rosalind Graves is the pen name of the Brightmoor Press puzzle team.
