The press pack
Everything you need to write about Cases and Clues, in one place.
About the brand
Cases & Clues creates immersive murder mystery case file games, written, designed and shipped from our HQ in Chester. Each mystery puts players at the heart of an investigation, combining a physical case file packed with documents, photographs and props with interactive online evidence that brings the story to life. Rather than simply following a story, players become the detectives - examining evidence, uncovering connections and piecing together the clues to solve the case themselves. The idea behind Cases & Clues is simple: create experiences that bring people together. Our mysteries offer an alternative to another night in front of the TV, giving friends, couples and families a reason to switch off, work together and create memories around the table.
In one sentence

The story
Cases and Clues had a humble start, with our earliest mysteries being packed on top of a freezer in a garage. What began as an idea to create better nights in has since grown into a team working from our HQ in Chester. Every Cases and Clues mystery starts with a story idea. From there, it is written, developed and playtested by our team, refining every twist and clue until we’ve created a case that can genuinely surprise its players. We believe the best nights in are the ones you talk about the next day; that’s why we obsess over the moment a case file gets opened: real documents, real photographs, real props. A true investigation with genuine detectives and a killer hiding in plain sight.

Story angles
Ways our detectives and journalists tend to frame us.
Something Different
Going to dinner, the cinema or putting on another series. We all pick the easy, familiar options - even our customers. Cases & Clues offers an alternative to the usual. The appeal is in doing something you wouldn't normally do: becoming a detective for the evening, following leads and experiencing the satisfaction of finally cracking the case. It’s the novelty of the experience - and the feeling of cracking the case together - that turns an ordinary evening into something fun our customers remember and talk about afterwards.
Quality Time
You can spend an entire evening with someone without really interacting. A film goes on, phones come out, and the night is over. Cases & Clues gives customers a reason to properly engage with each other. Discussing theories, listening to other people's ideas, making decisions together and actually appreciating the person opposite you. There’s no forced “quality time” or pressure to make conversation - the mystery just creates it. Whether it's a couple, family or group of friends, our customers finish the night appreciating the time spent together.
Escape From Reality
Sometimes the best way to switch off is to have something else to switch on to. For 2–4 hours, Cases & Clues invites customers into another world. The story, physical evidence, photographs, props and interactive elements are designed to draw players deeper into the investigation until conversations about work, chores and everyday life have been replaced by suspects and motives. For an evening, the to-do list can wait. They have a murder to solve.
Screen-free family nights
Work, social connection, entertainment - it’s all happening on a screen and they are hard to avoid. Cases & Clues' dedicated screen-free mysteries help people disconnect completely. Other cases take a different approach. Instead of fighting technology, they make it useful. By incorporating elements such as QR codes and digital evidence into the investigation, reaching for a phone keeps players inside the story rather than taking them away from it - something our family customers appreciate a lot.
