On September 15, 2023, a zookeeper at Chicago’s Riverside Zoo was mauled to death by a tiger during a routine cleaning shift.

But this wasn’t a tragic accident. The tiger had been deliberately released.

Over four parts, you’ll take on the role of investigator to uncover what really happened. Sift through internal emails, staff schedules, security logs, medical records, encrypted messages, and more. Examine physical clues—like a whistle, a toy monkey, a butterfly necklace, and a scent-marked item—to eliminate suspects and reveal a motive buried deep in the zoo’s politics, secrets, and sabotage.

You’ll also gain access to a companion website with hints and answer checks as you work through the case.

Play solo or with a group. With dozens of documents, layered evidence, and 10–15 hours of gameplay, The Tiger’s Cage is a meticulously crafted mystery where every detail counts—and someone is hoping you won’t notice.
