Investigate two disappearances separated by more than 80 years in Episode 6 The Blackout, a standalone supernatural mystery from The Magnus Protocol Mysteries. During the London Blitz in 1940, a frightened boy is trapped alone in the darkness with a broken camera. In 2022, an apartment building introduces a strict blackout curfew and a student vanishes from his flat.

Work together to examine documents, inspect photographs and listen to audio evidence through the paired website. Players must identify connections between the two timelines, resolve conflicting information and solve puzzles in sequence to unlock the complete case.

No previous knowledge of The Magnus Protocol podcast or the other mystery episodes is required.

• Two connected timelines: Compare evidence from a wartime incident in 1940 with a disappearance during a 2022 blackout
• Audio clues form part of the investigation: Information from the paired website must be considered alongside the physical evidence
• Sequential evidence access: Solve one or two puzzles in order before every document and clue becomes available
• No traditional turns: Players examine the shared case materials together and decide which leads deserve closer attention
