Plant the crime, the mystery story generator hides the truth
A mystery story generator plants a crime, a cast of suspects and a trail of clues, then builds the whole thing into a full illustrated story. Start from your own mystery story ideas or a murder-mystery prompt, and it writes the characters, lays the clues in plain sight, and illustrates each chapter so the reveal actually lands.
Set the case and read your first illustrated page free, no sign-up.
What makes a good mystery story
A good mystery plays fair. Every clue the detective sees, the reader sees too — the fun is being outpaced, not cheated. Plant the answer in plain sight, hide it under a better-looking lie, and give every suspect something worth hiding. The best solution feels inevitable the second before it turns obvious.
- A locked-room theft at a magicians’ convention where everyone has an alibi
- A small-town librarian finds a confession hidden in a returned book
- Every guest at the reunion got the same anonymous note
- A detective who can only remember the last 24 hours of the case
