Founding-era Philadelphia context
Benjamin Franklin inside an original murder mystery
Benjamin Franklin lived and worked in Philadelphia as a printer, scientist, civic organizer and diplomat. Franklin Court stands near the site of his home and printing office, close to many places associated with the American founding. This quest uses that documented setting and public figure for an invented detective story; the murder, suspects and investigation are fictional. Playable languages: English.
