How could that have happened? Black Stories are fiddly, morbid and mysterious riddles for teenagers and adults. The players try to reconstruct the crime by asking, guessing and fiddling about.

The box claims to include bonus material about offenders and offences, but there is no actual bonus booklet or anything like that.
