CASE 03 / FORGERY
The Orchard Lot
An old survey threatens to erase a village footpath from an orchard sale. The date on the page looks convincing. The landscape does not.
Compare a disputed plan with the town’s works records and surviving surveys. Then follow the marks left on the paper as it passed between four handlers. Establish who changed the packet and what they stood to gain.

WATCH BEFORE YOU BUY
Step inside The Orchard Lot.
This is the actual ten-second opening from the Digital Edition, with original instrumental music. Press play to watch; use the player to mute or adjust the volume.
The game itself is a reading-and-deduction investigation. The clip sets the scene; it contains no clues or solutions.
Prefer paper? The included Print Edition needs only 12 investigation pages, in black-and-white on A4 or US Letter. Keep hints and answers on screen.
YOUR INVESTIGATION
Follow the evidence.
- Check the drawing against the history of the site.
- Identify the source of a fabricated plan.
- Use paper marks and custody records to identify its maker.
Content: Document forgery, threatened loss of a public path and deception. No death or graphic imagery. Intended for adult readers.
Two editions. Two separate downloads.
Both are included in one purchase. Play on screen, print the evidence, or use both together.
Digital Edition: a ZIP containing an offline browser game with premium artwork, a short optional video, and hints and answers revealed only when requested.
Print Edition: one PDF designed for A4 or US Letter, with clear page ranges so customers can print the investigation without printing the hints and answers.

Digital play includes illustrated evidence, a ten-second opening video with original music and notes you can save. Use the video player to adjust the volume or mute the music. Open the extracted HTML in a full desktop browser. No account or internet is needed after download.
