About the Story

A Prefect has been attacked. Everyone's blaming YOU. Can you find the real culprit? Mystery adventure with a wicked twist, from the creators of Overboard!

1922. Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls is one of the best boarding schools in England. You are Verity Amersham, here on a scholarship - and today you're going to be expelled for attempted murder.

From the creators of Overboard! and A Highland Song comes a highly replayable detective game with a wicked twist. Can you escape expulsion through fair means - or foul? Can you find the culprit - or someone else to take the blame?

Adventure Game Hotspot
New setting but similar enjoyable choice-based formula should ring a bell
Expelled! excels at transferring its spiritual predecessor Overboard!’s charm, replayability and depth of choice to a boarding school setting, though its report card says it must try harder at putting its new morality mechanic into practice.

Rock Paper Shotgun
Tell tales out of school (in school)
Where Overboard! felt like a direct riff on the works of Agatha Christie, Expelled! is in dialogue with a spread of school girl literature, from Enid Blyton's The Naughtiest Girl, to Elinor M. Brent-Dyer's Chalet School series, to school-set detective fiction like Dorothy Bowers' Fear For Miss Betony. Many of these stories are explicitly moralising, preaching obedience and manners and health above all to their intended audience of children. It's refreshing to be encouraged to perform bad deeds within such a setting, then, and of course, even if you haven't read any of the above, there's still a subversive thrill in creating mischief at school.
