Unsolved Murder Mystery gives you the complete police file of an unsolved murder: reports, autopsy, witness statements, phone records and photographs. No hints, no app, no detective holding your hand. Read everything, compare the records and name the killer. Play online on your phone or computer, alone or in a private room where each friend reads on their own phone. Every room has text chat, and Premium adds voice chat and room for up to 8 players. Prefer paper? Each case is also sold as a printable PDF.
Every case is a self-contained cold case: an original investigation that stalled, handed to you exactly as the detectives left it. Nothing has been removed. Nothing has been simplified. Every case comes two ways: play online (the first case is free), or download the printable PDF with the solution sealed separately.

SubscribeThis is not a puzzle game with a story attached. It is an investigation. The file is the game.
Online or on paper. Every document is sorted into the folders a real detective would use: Police Reports, Forensics, Witness Statements, Photographs, Records, Personal Documents, Press. Open them all.
No single document names the killer. Statements, records and reports have to be read against each other, and nothing in the file tells you which ones to compare. Keep notes — on paper, like they did.
When you are certain, name the killer. You get one accusation: right or wrong, the case closes and the solution file shows what the documents prove. There are no hints.
If you have ever worked through a boxed murder mystery case file at the kitchen table, you know the format: a stack of realistic documents, a set of suspects, and the slow satisfaction of a timeline that finally closes. This site is that format, built for the screen — with documents that read like the real thing, a strict "two sources for every conclusion" rule, and nobody telling you where to look.
What we left out on purpose: hint buttons, guided objectives, a notes tab, a timeline builder, a "people" tab that summarizes the suspects for you. Real files do not have those. You are the detective. The folder is the whole game.
Yes. Last Call at the Bluebird is complete and free, with no account required. Every other case comes with Premium: $19.99 a week, $39.99 a month or $69.99 a year, for online play with up to 8 friends. Case PDFs are sold separately. See pricing.
Yes. The file is built for phone screens: folders open in a list, each document opens full-screen with zoom and next/previous, and your progress is saved on the device. Prefer paper? Every case, including the free one, is also a printable PDF.
Yes. Tap Play with friends inside a case to open a room. Everyone joins from their own phone with a six-letter code, sees what the others have read, talks it through in the room chat, and votes in secret. When the host has Premium, you can also switch on voice chat and talk while you read. The host reveals the votes and the solution opens for everyone at once. One screen and a notepad works too.
No. Not in the file, not on the site. If you are stuck, read the documents you skimmed. The answer is always supported by at least two of them.
Two to three hours for a careful reader. Longer with a group. There is no timer.
