Printable Murder Mystery Case Files (PDF)

Every paid case on this site is also a printable PDF: the complete file, one document per page, with the solution sealed in a separate PDF. Print it, spread it across the table, and argue. Same case, same evidence, no hints. The solution is its own PDF: who did it, how, why, what happened that night, and why every other suspect is innocent, with the documents that prove each point. Download it only when you have named the killer.

Premium: every case online with friends (up to 8, text and voice chat), from $19.99 a week. PDFs are sold separately.

How the printable version works

1
Print the file

One document per page, black and white is fine. Cut the photographs apart if you like. Keep the solution PDF closed.

2
Solve it at the table

Spread the folders out. Build the timeline on paper. Argue. There are no hints in the file and none on this site.

3
Break the seal

When you have named the killer, open the solution PDF. It shows every document that convicts and why the others are innocent.

Each case PDF is $14.99 and is not part of Premium. Premium is for online play: every case, with up to 8 friends. All cases · FAQ
