Hi everyone!

I'd like to share The Jarl, a murder mystery set in the Viking age, to play alone or with friends and family.

🪓 The story

In a Viking longhouse, during the great feast, the jarl drinks from his horn… and collapses. Poisoned. Six suspects, six secrets, and you have until the Thing — the great assembly — to unmask the killer before the clan tears itself apart.

🔍 How it plays

- Search the longhouse and its surroundings — nothing is highlighted, you have to observe

- Question the 6 suspects and show them the right evidence to make them crack

- Connect clues and suspects on a corkboard with red strings

- Rebuild the night to make your final accusation

- 3 difficulty levels, and an "I'm stuck" button so you never get blocked

🎁 Extras

- Gift mode: personalize the game with someone's name, photo and message

- A full printable case file (A4 + US Letter) to play without a screen

- English and French

- Runs offline in your browser on Windows or Mac — nothing to install

Illustrations were made with the help of AI tools; the story, puzzles and game were designed and assembled by hand.

Any feedback is welcome — especially from Viking and Norse mythology fans!
