Wanda Ringhans has spent months writing her newest steamy romance novel.

Draft after draft.
Late-night edits.
Entire scenes rewritten.

Then, finally, she types the two words every writer looks forward to. The End.

Saving it to the cloud, Wanda goes to celebrate a job well done.

The only issue? The next day, she opens her computer, and disaster strikes! She has forgotten the password to access the file.

Luckily, this isn’t the first time. Wanda has a habit of leaving herself little hints in her notes.
Systems.
Reminders.
Little breadcrumbs only she would understand.

Her writing materials are the key.

Your job is to find it and gain access to the masterpiece, Wuthering Flights!

Who is Wuthering Flights for?

Wuthering Flights: The Missing Manuscript is a great experience for solo players who love that satisfying moment of discovery on their own.

Our puzzle box designer, Joseph Parfrement Parkes, also wanted to create something that couples would be able to play together. In today's world, it is so easy to sit yourself in front of the tv and not speak to each other. Joseph wanted to create a game that had couples putting their phone down and taking on a challenge together.

It’s for the moments when dinner is finished, phones are put away, and relaxing and unwinding takes priority.

Whether you’re solving clues, debating theories, or celebrating that final breakthrough, the experience is built to create something memorable.
