What belongs to the agency

The case stories and characters, the documents, letters, photographs, maps and recordings inside each box, the puzzles and their solutions, the QR puzzle pages, the packaging, and the text, pictures and design of this website are the work of PDA and are protected by copyright. The PDA name and emblem identify the agency and may not be used to present other products as ours.

Buying a case gives you the kit to play, not the right to copy it.

Art.02

You are welcome to

  • Play your case with friends and family, as many times as you like.
  • Lend it or give it away once you have solved it.
  • Post photos of the sealed box, your table and your theories, and tag @pda.jo on Instagram.
  • Film an unboxing or a spoiler-free review.
  • Quote a short line when you talk about the case.

Art.03

Not without written permission

  • Scan, photocopy, print or reproduce the case documents.
  • Share the documents, the QR puzzle links or what they show.
  • Sell, rent or hand out copies of any part of a case.
  • Run a case as a paid event or an escape room.
  • Translate, adapt or publish the stories or puzzles.
  • Use the material to train AI systems.

Art.04

No spoilers

Please don’t post answers, solutions, the culprit or walkthroughs. The next detective deserves the same first look at the evidence. Keep hints for private messages.

Art.05

Fiction and real history

The stories, characters and investigations are fiction. Where a case draws on real history, the historical record and its source are noted on the case page, and those sources keep their own rights.

Art.06

Pictures on this site

Photographs and artwork on this website are for illustration. The campaign art shows the PDA box in imagined settings and does not show what is inside a case.
