01
🔎

03
⚖

By month six, you'll have all the pieces. Submit your theory. The final packet reveals the truth. Were you right?

What's Inside

Your Evidence Packets

Each month's delivery is different. No two packets feel the same — just like a real investigation.

📄

Detective's Case Notes

Handwritten-style notes from the lead investigator. Observations, hunches, and details the official reports left out.

📰

Newspaper Clippings

Period-accurate headlines, articles, and obituaries from the era of the case. Context that shifts the story.

📝

Witness Statements

Transcribed interviews with witnesses, suspects, and persons of interest. Who's lying? That's for you to decide.

📷

Crime Scene Photos

Printed evidence photographs, maps, and diagrams. Physical artifacts you can pin to your investigation board.

🔐

Coded Messages

Ciphers, hidden notes, and redacted documents. Some clues aren't handed to you — you have to earn them.

🎁

Surprise Artifacts

A hotel matchbook. A torn movie ticket. A postcard never sent. Small objects that carry the weight of the story.

Investigators Say

Don't Take Our Word for It

★★★★★

"I bought this for my mom on a whim. She called me after the second packet — she's got a suspect board pinned to her office wall. I've never seen her this excited."

Sarah K.
Gifted to her mother
★★★★★

"My book club switched from novels to this. We meet every two weeks to go through the evidence together. We've accused each other's favorite suspects more than once."

Diana M.
Book club of 8 subscribers
★★★★★

"The coded message in month 3 took me a full weekend to crack. I haven't felt that kind of satisfaction since I was a kid. Already signed up for Case #2."

FAQ

Questions? We've Got Answers

Every two weeks, you receive a physical evidence packet. Contents vary — detective case notes, witness statements, newspaper clippings, photographs, coded messages, and occasional artifacts. Each packet advances the investigation. Over 6 months (12 packets), you'll have everything you need to solve the case.

No expertise required. The cases are designed to be engaging, not frustrating. Some clues are straightforward. Some are hidden. But everything you need to form a theory is in the packets. This isn't a test — it's an experience.

Absolutely — many of our investigators do this as a group activity. Book clubs, date nights, family game nights. One subscription is all you need. Spread the evidence out on a table and start theorizing together.

You purchase the full case at checkout. We'll email you a printable gift card with a redemption code. The recipient enters their address and chooses when to start. They get the full experience — you get the credit for finding the perfect gift.

We replace it, no questions asked. Every packet matters to the story. We'll re-ship within 48 hours so you don't miss a beat in your investigation.

We currently ship within the United States. International shipping is coming soon — join our email list to be the first to know when we expand.

Our cases are designed for adults (16+). The stories involve fictional crimes — disappearances, cold cases, deception. There's no graphic violence, but the themes are mature. Think of it as a PG-13 mystery novel delivered to your mailbox.

We release new cases regularly. Most investigators sign up for another the day they finish. Each case is a completely new story, new suspects, new setting. You keep your solved case files — they look great on a shelf.
