Part 4 - The Copycat Files

Originally released by The Enigma Emporium, now refined and reimagined by Ink & Clues.
Game designed by Logan Giannini.
Guides by Lindsay M.

The Copycat Files is part 4 of the postcard puzzle series. For the best experience, we strongly recommend starting with part 1 (Wish You Were Here), part 2 (Blowback) and part 3 (Parabola), as the story and investigation continue from there.

This product is designed for home printing, preferably in color. It can be printed in black and white, but some puzzles rely on color so you would sometimes need to refer to the digital version on screen while solving.

To get the most out of the experience, you’ll need internet access and and basic online research skills. This is a high-difficulty puzzle experience, designed to challenge your ability to think creatively and connect subtle clues. A full hints and solutions guide is included, so you’ll never get stuck. The mystery unfolds over many hours of investigation and code breaking.

Game plot

When the story leaked about your contributions to the “Wish You Were Here” case, you became an overnight sensation. Your new celebrity status, however, came with a darker side. A wave of look-alike postcards flooded the FBI desks, all addressed to you. Most are hoaxes, but a few look real, and the bureau has requested your help in unravelling them. Five new postcards, each with their own unique mystery, await your expertise. 

Can you decode the information in the postcards and uncover the truth?
