Check Inn:
Road Detective
A physical detective card game powered by a companion app. Scan QR codes on characters, locations, and evidence cards to unlock clues, interrogations, and story progress.
A crime scene on the table. A case file in your phone.
Players investigate cases from Check Inn: Road Detective using physical cards and a companion app. The app manages the briefing, rules, dialogues, evidence, and progress through the investigation.
Scan physical QR cards
Characters, locations, and evidence cards contain QR codes that unlock new information inside the app.
Find leads and connect clues
Every scan can reveal dialogue, hidden evidence, new locations, or a path into the next part of the case.
Open new dossiers
Each dossier brings its own suspects, locations, evidence, questions, and final reveal inside the Road Detective system.
How the investigation unfolds
The first screens introduce the case. After that, players continue by scanning the QR codes printed on the physical game cards.
Choose a dossier
Open a case in the app and read the initial briefing: location, time, first witnesses, and the mystery at the center of the story.
Scan the cards
Use the camera to scan character, location, and evidence QR codes. The app reacts with new clues, questions, and events.
Solve the case
Follow the evidence, question suspects, manage your time, and decide when you have enough information to reveal the truth.
Built for hybrid tabletop play.
The app is not a separate video game. It is the engine that runs the physical investigation.
Do players need the physical game?
Yes. The app is designed to work with physical cards and printed QR codes. The investigation continues through scanning.
What happens after the first screens?
The app asks players to scan a location, character, or evidence card. Those scans unlock the next stage of the case.
Are there multiple dossiers?
Yes. Road Detective is built around separate case files, each with its own suspects, clues, locations, and final reveal.
Scan the clue. Question the witness. Break the case.
Check Inn: Road Detective turns a tabletop investigation into a living case file, where every physical card can open a new lead.
