Founder of Forgotten Mystery. Serthan writes and designs our detective cases, printable escape rooms, murder mystery party kits and puzzle books.
Serthan Topal started Forgotten Mystery in 2026 to make detective games that are fun to play and fair to solve. Each case is built around one contradiction hidden in the evidence, so a careful player can always reach the answer without guessing.
Every game Serthan writes is played through in full and then tested with groups of players, chosen for who the game is for: solo players, couples, families or party groups. A case is rewritten if testers have to guess or find a second suspect who fits.
Besides the online case files, Serthan writes our printable games and the puzzle books published on Amazon. You can find Serthan on LinkedIn and Instagram, and reach the team at hello@forgottenmystery.com.
