A new case file lands every morning. Read the witnesses, find the lie, name the killer. 90 cases across four tiers, no ads, no accounts, no nonsense. Cold Case Bureau is a quiet, paper-and-typewriter mystery game for people who like to read closely and think slowly. A case file lands on your desk. The summary. The victim. The evidence. The suspects, each with their own story. Read every piece. Watch for the contradictions — the moments when two pieces of evidence can't both be true. Pin them together on your investigation board. When you're ready, submit your findings: the suspect, how they got in, and why. Get it right and your reputation climbs. Solve enough cases at the rookie tier and the detective files open up. Detective leads to senior. Senior leads to the major cases, the kind that sit in cold storage for years. Ninety bundled cases. Four difficulty tiers. No internet required. WHAT'S INSIDE • 31 rookie cases to find your footing • 21 detective cases when the patterns get harder to see • 20 senior cases that punish hasty conclusions • 18 major cases that earn their reputation • An investigation board for laying out connections by hand • A reputation system that rewards careful work • A profile that tracks every case you've closed • An archive of solves with difficulty badges WHAT'S NOT INSIDE • No ads • No accounts • No in-app purchases • No analytics SDKs • No tracking • No subscription Your progress stays on your device. The only data that leaves the app is what you write in the optional feedback email. That's it. Designed and written by Thomas Masters. Built for iOS using Apple's standard frameworks. Best played in short sessions when the room is quiet.
