Bespoke online detective games with unlimited use

We design a one-of-a-kind investigation from your brief and host it on your own secure portal. Add unlimited teams, run it as often as you like, and collect submissions from anywhere with facilitator controls, inter-team chat, and deep personalisation using your people and locations.

HOW IT WORKS

From brief to launch in weeks

We turn your idea into a playable investigation with a clear, fast process.

Co design

One short discovery call sets tone, goals and red lines. Share staff photos or voices and shots of your office or town if you want the world to feel familiar.

Build

We craft the case and the portal. You preview Evidence Alpha and the interface, then we lock scope before final production.

Launch

Your facilitator logs in, creates sessions and adds teams. Players join from anywhere, chat in team, submit their theory and you run the reveal.

Typical timeline: five to six weeks from brief to launch.

WHAT YOU GET

Your own portal with facilitator control

Your portal

Branded subdomain (e.g. client.cases.coldcaseinc.com), unlimited teams and unlimited replays forever.

Facilitator tools

Create sessions, add teams, set passwords, start and pause the timer, push hints, review submissions and run the reveal.

Team experience

Secure login, evidence browser with zoom and notes, inter-team chat and a final theory form that requires three cited pieces of evidence.

Instant results

Participation, time on task, evidence opens, accuracy and downloadable team write-ups as CSV or PDF.

PERSONALISATION

Make it feel like your world

Use your people

We script interviews and you provide staff voice recordings or photos. We clean audio and integrate it into the case.

Set it in your office or town

Share base photos or floor plans and we art direct scenes to avoid revealing sensitive details.

Choose the tone

Classic homicide at PG 13, corporate thriller with fraud or leak, or a clean heist. We avoid anything on your red line list.
