The shared screen: the cottage, the lock and the clock
The shared screen: the cottage, the lock and the clock

Each cousin gets a letter from Grandma on their phone, full of memories and one clue. The cottage rooms, the clock and the answer box appear on a shared screen, such as a TV or a laptop.

Six locks only open when the cousins put their letters together: the key cabinet, the bookshelf's secret compartment, Grandma's diary, the sauna, the boathouse and finally the chest. If the chest isn't open when Grandma calls, the cottage goes to Raimo next door.

  • A warm summer-cottage story: sauna, cardamom buns, a rowing boat and Grandma’s memories
  • Hints cost minutes, and a wrong answer takes a minute off the clock
  • You can pause the clock for a break
  • 6–8 players: more cousins join the family

FAQ

What can we use as the shared screen?

Any device with a browser that everyone can see: a laptop, a tablet or a TV connected to a laptop. The shared screen doesn't use up a phone place.

Can we switch the shared screen during the game?

Yes. Open the same link on another device and choose it as the shared screen. The game carries on from the same point.

Do we need an app or an account?

No. The game runs in the phone's browser. Nobody has to download anything or sign up.

How many phones can we use on one purchase?

One purchase is for one group of 2 to 8 players, and the link works on up to eight phones. A bigger group splits up, and each group needs its own purchase.

How long does the link work?

For 30 days after purchase. You can play as many times as you like during that time.

Do we need internet?

Yes, every phone needs a connection. If a phone loses it for a moment, it keeps playing on its own, and codes bring it back to the same point as the others.

I lost my link. What now?

Request it again on the "Lost your game link?" page. We only ever send it to the email address used for the purchase.

Can I cancel my purchase?

The game link is delivered right after payment. At checkout you ask for immediate delivery and confirm that your 14-day right of withdrawal ends once the link has been delivered. If the game doesn't work as described, contact us. This does not affect your rights if something is wrong with the game.

What will show on my card statement?

The charge appears as REDHERRINGCLUB, the name of the seller's shop: Red Herring Club.
