Dead Letters on iPhone: a candle-lit spirit board where the planchette spells LUCY
How it works

Three steps into the dark.

  1. 1

    Ask

    Tap the microphone and ask anything, or type if you'd rather.

  2. 2

    Watch

    The planchette drifts across the board and stops on each letter.

  3. 3

    Listen

    Candle-room sound, and the spirit's reply spelled out in full.

Story Mode

Three ghosts. Three murders.

Each spirit knows who killed them. Ask about the killer (were they left-handed? did they wear gloves?) and every question burns a candle. Cross suspects off the dossier and name the killer before the last one dies. The killer changes every time you play.

1923

The Ashgrove Dinner

Six guests. One poisoned glass.

1891

The Keeper of Widow's Rock

The light went out. So did he.

1931

Blackthorn Sanatorium

Seven names in her ledger. One reason she died.

Free Séance

Summon a spirit. Ask it anything.

Every spirit has its own name, age and past, and remembers what it has told you. Say goodbye when you're done, if it lets you leave.

Does it collect my data?

No. There are no accounts, ads or analytics, and your progress stays on your device. Read the Privacy Policy for details.
