Most mystery games give you a menu of questions. Cold Case Club gives you a blank line. Every suspect is played live by Claude, with a personality, a way of talking, an alibi and something to hide. Ask whatever you want, but you only get twenty questions, so every one counts.

Suspects lie, and they’re good at it. Evidence from the scene and facts you pull out of other suspects are your leverage. Put the right fact in front of the right person and the story cracks: a new lead opens up, someone changes their account, and the timeline starts to make sense.

Everyone gets the same case each day. Close it and you get a result grid to share with friends without spoiling the answer. On Sundays the case gets bigger, with five suspects instead of three.

Create custom cases that you can share with the community or your friends.

Every screen is designed for phones first. iOS and Android versions are on the roadmap. Join the newsletter or the Discord to hear when the doors open.
