A Graveyard. A Heist. A Legend Buried in Time.
Somewhere in Highgrove Cemetery lies the Robber’s Grave – a burial plot said to contain untold riches, hidden there by a Victorian thief.
Track lost gold from an 1893 heist by decoding maps, photos, church records—and uncovering secret websites.
1-5 Players | 90 Mins | Ages 14+
The Robber’s Grave immerses you in a gothic mystery where buried gold and buried truths await. In 1893, a massive gold shipment disappeared without a trace. Some say it’s hidden beneath one of the 7,777 graves in Northgate Cemetery. Your job? Follow the trail through aged photographs, ancient church records, and a sprawling graveyard map to solve this eerie whodunnit.
But there’s more lurking beneath the surface. A hidden website adds a thrilling digital dimension to your analog investigation. Passwords, clues, and revelations are tucked away online, making your journey one of both paper and pixel.
Crafted by Olivier Award-winner Henry Lewis—creator of The Play That Goes Wrong—this game is more than a puzzle. It’s a theatrical experience in a box, where the story is revealed through rich, tactile documents and immersive design. Designed for 1 to 5 players aged 12+, it’s perfect for solo detectives or group investigations.
Solve it in one night or savour it slowly—tiered online hints are there if you get stuck. Whether you’re playing by candlelight or hosting a full-blown mystery night, The Robber’s Grave delivers a thrilling escape packed with atmosphere, surprises, and a final twist you won’t see coming.
Step back in time to uncover the hidden secrets behind this infamous heist – will you find the buried gold bullion?
