– UNSOLVED CASE FILES | Cahill, Max - Cold Case Murder Mystery Game - Can You Solve The Crime?

it needs a lot of reading, we used it in my 12 years daughter birthday, it was so much fun, also my friends used it with their friends in a camp and they has a lot of fun....

It’s just mysterious game, you need to be focus moreeee to get the answers, and it was easy as they said it’s cold crime or whatever is called. It took us 5 hours to finish it😭✌🏼 but it’s worth it

Fun to play I recommend

Wir haben uns das Spiel für einen gemeinsamen Urlaub besorgt und waren einen ganzen Abend damit beschäftigt. Die Photoshop-Qualität der Bilder ist nicht überragend (hat bei uns aber für ein paar Lacher gesorgt), aber das schmälert den Spaß an der Cold-Case-Akte nicht. Die Mappe ist mit viel Material gefüllt, wodurch wir fünf Leute für ein paar Stunden beschäftigen konnten. Für uns war es als Alternative zu einem Exit-Spiel gedacht und das hat sich in jedem Fall gelohnt! So mussten wir uns nicht über ein kleines Blatt Papier kauern, sondern jeder hatte eigene Akten und Hinweise vor sich und man konnte zusammen an der Lösung arbeiten. Vollste Empfehlung für alle, die sich auch einen unterhaltsamen Krimi-Abend wünschen!

I learned about this genre of game from a podcast from the New York Times. I picked this as our first cold case mystery game and afterwards ordered several more from the same company since it was so fun. I did this particular case with a friend who also enjoys puzzles (think escape rooms, riddles, etc.). We finished this case in around four hours, but did subsequent cases in 2-3 hours once we understood what to do. We thought the cost was a good value considering the entertainment time and product quality. Based on the cases we have done each case effectively is broken down into three phases. 1) Read all the documents and figure out how the murder was accomplished. 2) Figure out who lied to the police. 3) Put all the evidence together to convict them. The first phase takes the most time. You are given many suspects that have a lengthy police statement, a police interview transcript and usually a supporting statement from another character. This takes a while to read through but is generally amusing. There are newspaper clippings, an autopsy report, and crime scene photos to review. There is a question that you need to answer using a QR code and once you get the question right you open additional envelopes that provide more information. This repeats for the second and third phases although these phase provide only a small amount of additional documents that need to be combined with the phase one information. We found the puzzle challenging but fair and logical. The mystery did not require any obscure leaps of logic, just paying attention to details and answering the questions in the order they were asked rather than trying to jump to the end in one leap. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys puzzle rooms or mysteries.

Best crime solving game I’ve ever played. Even my daughter loves it. Highly recommend for amateur sleuths.

Honestly loved this one. It’s such an underrated case and one of the most enjoyable case files I’ve done. The story pulls you in straight away and the gameplay is really engaging from start to finish. It definitely kept me busy, kept me guessing, and kept me thinking. 10/10, would definitely recommend.

The effort that has gone into each piece of evidence is great and there’s some clever red flags. Very much enjoyed solving it over a glass of wine! Good quality and the addition of a YouTube was a great touch.
