Eureka Mystery Module Pitch: Bottle Mystery
I’m just throwing this out here because God knows our team won’t have time any time soon to make something like this. Anyone can take this idea for a Eureka mystery module and run with it. Don’t worry if you think someone else is already doing it, two people taking this same idea are still gonna turn out with two very different modules. And, that’s two modules. Players can play both.
In this post im gonna lay out all the concepts and ideas that this hypothetical module may entail. I’m making this a regular type of post where I pitch Eureka adventure modules to the fanbase in a sorta stream-of-consciousness kinda way and offer as much scaffolding as I can in the hopes that somebody will make it, because the A.N.I.M. Team is at project capacity, but more mystery modules are always needed, and if we want to play our own game then the modules we play have to be written by somebody else anyway.
Anyone with ideas they think they can contribute on this concept, please feel free to comment and discuss them.
If any of these mystery module pitches im doing inspire you to take the concept in a very different direction than outlined, that's also okay as long as it, like, follows the setting guidelines and stuff.
This concept is so basic and classic, yet has so much potential, that this pitch post will be a little different. It’s not a specific module idea, it’s more like maybe general advice for this kind of mystery module. And we could always use more modules like this. In order for the “out-there” mystery module concepts to truly be “out-there,” Eureka needs a strong foundation of plain ole classic “generic” mysteries.
The difference between pac-manian mystery and a bottle mystery is that in bottle mystery, the killer is not trying to pick off each and everyone else, but both mystery types still take place in isolated enclosed locations.
Hook
Some situation puts the investigators and some NPCs in some kind of isolated location that they can’t easily leave, and there is a murder. They gotta solve this murder.
