The moment you buy, you're given secure access to your case portal — sign in and reopen the dossier to examine, download or print every file. Choose a physical edition and a beautifully made boxed kit is also posted to your door.
Play solo, or team up with a partner. Cold cases are a one or two-player investigation — ideal for date night or a quiet night in.
Most cases take around 1–2 hours, and there's no timer. Work through the evidence at your own pace and pick it back up whenever you like.
Not at all — you can examine everything in your case portal on any device. Print the files if you'd like to spread the evidence out, or work from the posted kit with a physical edition.
Every case includes a built-in hint system and a full solution, so you're never truly stuck.
Each case has one solution, so the reveal lands hardest the first time. Plenty of detectives go back through the evidence afterwards to catch what they walked straight past — and when you're ready for a fresh investigation, there's a whole library of cases waiting.
For digital editions, a computer or tablet is best for examining the documents and photographs in detail. Physical editions come ready to spread out on the table.
Most cases suit teens and adults. A few carry mature true-crime themes — the product description flags anything stronger.

It was a family “Cold Case Supper Club”. Three generations came together with different perspectives, ideas and suspects. Great conversations! I printed Act 1 and emailed it about 2 weeks before. Lots of reading! We completed the remaining acts together. So fun!
I had a blast working on this case with my husband on our Valentines trip. I loved it so much I have bought 2 more since February.
It was such a great experience and we had the most fun playing this game! The entire pack is so well-thought out and really got us cracking our heads. We took about 2 hours to crack this cold case!
Lots of fun, it was challenging but enjoyed solving the mystery
It was a fun and different experience for a date night. I liked how much detail was in the pack/case however it would be been great to break up the reading as got to be a lot. Perhaps the interviews between witnesses or suspects and police could be an audio file just do not everything must be read. Especially with the digital version when you’re reading from a screen. Otherwise it was en enjoyable activity to do together
We really enjoyed working through the cold case game. It felt satisfying when everything started to connect. It felt like a proper event rather than just another game. It gave the whole evening a clear structure.
Interesting story!
Great game night with the girls!
This one is probably the best of all the cold cases.
I’m sorry I haven’t done it yet
Easy to follow and good story

I liked that it was a structured linear game, and that you could play as a team or individually at the same time. The story was pretty interesting and lots of clues to go through. Could have been slightly more complicated or adding some interactive elements, or even music whilst you play, would have added to the experience.
