Death at Blackwood Manor.
A noir murder mystery in which you question the suspects with your own voice.
What it is.
The host of a dinner party is poisoned in a sealed manor, and one of seven guests is the killer. You search ten rooms for clues, keep a case notebook, and interrogate each suspect by speaking to them.
Suspects answer in their own synthesised voices, powered by Deepgram's Voice Agent API and an AI language model. When you are ready, you make one accusation, and a wrong one ends the case. We built it for Deepgram's GramJam 2026 game jam.
