Cold Case: Solve Real Unsolved Cases

These are real cases that were never closed. Each file gives you the evidence investigators had, with sources, and two witnesses you can question. Build your theory, then compare it with the record and with other players.

Open cases

How it works

  1. Read the briefing and study the evidence board.
  2. Question the witnesses. The right questions unseal locked exhibits.
  3. Choose what happened and the evidence that proves it, then see how your report scores.

Questions people ask

Are these real cases?

Yes. Every case is built from a Real or Legend file on a real, unsolved case, and every exhibit links to its source. The witnesses are composite characters who only say what the public record shows.

Is there a right answer?

These cases are officially unsolved, so no one knows for certain. Your report is scored on how well your theory fits the evidence, the same way the file weighs each theory.

Why don't the cases name a culprit?

Because no one was ever proven guilty. The game is about what the evidence shows, not about accusing real people.

Is it free to play online?

Yes. Every case is free in your browser, with no account and no download.
