Everything people ask before opening their first cold case file.
A murder mystery you solve by reading a reconstructed police file: autopsy reports, witness statements, phone records, photographs. There is no board and no dice. You cross-reference documents until the evidence proves who did it. Ours are played entirely in the browser.
Case 01, The Boathouse, is completely free with no sign-up, including hints and the solution. Cases 02 and 03 cost $12.99 each, or get every case with a yearly or lifetime pass.
Same kind of evidence, same three-objective structure, but nothing to ship and nothing to lose. It works on a phone, so a group does not have to crowd around one table. And answers are checked, not looked up.
One to eight. In group mode every player has the full file on their own phone and can read in any order; the objectives are shared.
Two to four hours depending on the case and the group. You can stop at any point and pick up later.
No. Only the host needs access. Friends join with the room code for free.
The cases are written like real files: violent death is described clinically, never graphically. We recommend 14+.
No. Every case, person and place is fictional. Any resemblance to real people is coincidental.
Yes. The file is designed for phones first: documents open full-width, you swipe between them, and the objectives sit in a bottom tab.
English and German at launch. The file and the interface are fully translated, not machine-translated.
If a case did not work for you, write to us within 14 days and we will refund it.
Each objective has three hints. The first points you to the right document, the second to the right detail, the third gives the answer.
