The Missing Candle is a reliably quiet pub in Veilgarden – the drinks are cheap, the food is... extant. These days it is best known as the meeting place of a very exclusive club – one that happens to include you.

The Candlefinder Society – the five greatest detectives in London – regularly meet to talk shop. Sometimes, you join forces to unravel the city’s most unusual mysteries. Today we're releasing another new case for you to solve: the Case of the Missing Moll.

Join the Banded Sleuth on a search for the Spall-Skinned Romantic's lost love: Molly, a performer at an old music-hall. The trail is cold; the evidence scant; the witnesses decidedly unhelpful. What intrigues move beneath the surface? Could this really be as simple as a single missing woman?

This case is available for free.

Getting Started

Candlefinder mysteries are episodic stories set in London, available from the midgame onwards. To unlock them:

Complete ‘A Name in Seven Secret Alphabets’ (raise that quality to 7)
Complete ‘A Name Whispered in Darkness’ (raise that quality to 7)
Raise your unmodified Watchful to 90 or more

If you meet those conditions, you can gain access to the Candlefinder Society by drawing a guaranteed card in London. Once started, cases must be finished before you can start another one or replay a past case. Cases can be replayed; Fate cases don’t cost anything to replay. The reward for completing a given case for the first time is more substantial.
