Stian Nybru | Christian Andre Strand Murder on the Norwegian America Line
On the evening of August 25, 1938, a passenger was thrown overboard from the ship Oslofjord and disappeared into the waves.
The police were never able to solve the case, and the mysterious event was forgotten—until maritime researcher Flo accidentally discovered an old letter that reopened the investigation.
Now Flo invites you to step into this fascinating mystery.
Travel across the Atlantic from New York to Oslo, and uncover what really happened during that late summer voyage in 1938. Who disappeared into the sea? And why were they thrown overboard?
Follow the clues carefully and beware of false leads...
Can you solve the mystery?
The Easter Mystery at Norsk Folkemuseum is an interactive experience where you become part of the investigation! Instead of simply reading or watching a crime story, you follow the clues, talk to the characters, and gather evidence to solve the mystery yourself.
