Life at Cases & Clues

We're building the best murder mystery company in the world, from a brand-new HQ in Chester.

We make games that turn a night in into the best night of the week.

Work should feel the same. Everything we do serves one purpose: making the moment someone opens one of our mysteries the best it can possibly be. If that obsession sounds like fun, you'll fit right in.

We're a small team. Our ambitions are not. Everyone here shapes what Cases & Clues becomes next.

The evidence

The Gold Trophy

Every month the team votes someone a £50 voucher of their choice — for whoever failed the biggest or pushed us furthest forward. Big swings get celebrated here, whichever way they land.

Your birthday off

An extra day of holiday, on top of your allowance. Cake at HQ tends to happen too.

Holiday that grows

One extra day of holiday for every year you're with us.

Flexible hours

Shape your day around your life. We work together at HQ — no clock-watching required.

Paid to play

Playtesting is part of the job. You'll crack every new mystery before the public ever sees it.

Your name in the credits

Pitch a case idea. If we make it, your name goes on it — everyone here is a creator, not a job title.

Free mysteries

Every release, free — plus a stack for your friends and family. You're our best detectives.

A library of games

We buy stacks of games — ours and everyone else's — and playing them is actively encouraged. It's research.

Mystery socials

Escape rooms, team nights out — and yes, the Christmas party is a murder mystery.

Casual dress

Come as yourself. Detective hats optional.

Dogs & cats welcome

We love them. Bring yours — they make excellent (if unreliable) witnesses.

Brand-new HQ

A fresh, purpose-built base in Chester — where every case is invented, packed and shipped.
