What is a cold case detective file?
A cold case file is a detective investigation game in printed dossier format. You receive a full case file — evidence photographs, witness statements, autopsy reports, and police notes — and your job is to read through everything and figure out who did it, how, and why.
Unlike escape rooms, there's no timer and no "escape" — just careful reading and deduction. Solo-friendly and completely self-paced. Perfect for a quiet evening with a drink and a thinking mindset.

Perfect for
If you listen to true crime podcasts or watch detective documentaries, cold case files feel satisfyingly realistic.
Solve a case together over dinner or drinks. No loud group needed — cold cases are made for 1–4 players.
Works brilliantly with 2–6 people. Each person takes a different document to read and presents their findings.
The only BrainMazeGames format designed for solo play. Curl up with the evidence and take your time.
No prep time, no group to organise. Print it out, pour a drink, and disappear into the case for a couple of hours.
If you love crosswords, logic puzzles, or detective novels, cold case files give you the same satisfaction in game form.
Investigation tips
Before reading in depth, spread out all the documents and photographs so you can see the full picture at once.
Details buried in witness statements often contradict other documents. The truth is always in the evidence — you just have to find it.
Noting down who was where and when helps you spot the inconsistencies that point to the killer.
There's no timer and no pressure. The enjoyment is in the investigation itself, not just the reveal at the end.
