A case you crack yourself — here's how it works
Every Casebook Co. case is a self-contained mystery you solve from the evidence itself. No host, no acting, no awkward role-play. Open the case file, study the clues at your own pace, commit to your answer — then break the seal to see if you were right.
What's inside every case file
- The Briefing — the crime, the scene, and everyone with a reason to be involved.
- Suspect Dossiers — every motive, statement, and the secret each person is hiding.
- Testimonies, Timelines & Records — the material you cross-examine to break each alibi or trace each transaction.
- The Evidence — letters, reports, ledgers, exhibits: the physical proof you work through.
- A Deduction / Reconciliation Sheet — to organise your thinking before you commit.
- The Sealed Solution — the full reveal, sealed until your accusation is written.
How a night plays out
- Read the case. Meet the world, the crime, and the people at its centre.
- Examine the evidence. Pore over the dossiers, records and clues at your own pace.
- Test every story. Match each account against the evidence and watch them break.
- Make your accusation. Commit to your answer — then break the seal.
