What’s in the envelope

Not a game kit.
A real case dossier.

Every document is built to look and read like the genuine article — assembled from the world of the case, not designed for a table. Scan QR codes to unlock photographs and audio that can’t fit on a page.

Every case contains multiple physical exhibits and QR-unlocked media files — and each case is different.

🗂 Exhibit 01

Officer’s Casebook

The investigating officer’s diary — narrative spine of every case, with hard exhibits pinned in.

📋 Exhibit 02

Witness Statements

Typed field interviews. Guarded answers. Contradictions you’ll have to resolve yourself.

🔬 Exhibit 03

Forensic & Post-Mortem Reports

State lab reports with reference numbers, clinical language, and a finding that changes everything.

📰 Exhibit 04

Newspaper Cuttings

Real-format clippings with mastheads. Background, motive, and the story the public was told.

📷 QR → Photos

Crime Scene Photographs

Scan to see what the officer saw. Contact sheets, CCTV stills, evidence bench shots. Some clues only live here.

🎙 QR → Audio

Voicemails & Call Logs

Listen to what was said the night before. Some things are easier to lie about on paper than out loud.

📡 Exhibit 05

Call Detail Records

Timestamped CDRs, tower locations, duration logs. Who called whom — and when they stopped.

+ + + Every case is different

And much more

CCTV logs, chemist slips, legal correspondence, GPS records, service registers — whatever the case demands.

The Case Files

The first file is open

One case, complete and ready. More are coming. We build each one slowly — for the satisfaction of the moment everything locks.

Case No. 001 · Cosy Whodunit · India

Last Train to Goa

A feared film producer found dead in his locked first-class cabin on the overnight Konkan Queen. Six passengers, each with something to protect. A film reel missing from the floor. And a death nobody has called murder — yet.

Why Black Raven

Made for the obsessive

i · Writing first

Twists you’ll talk about

Every case is built backwards from one airtight solution. No leaps, no cheats — just the quiet thrill of “it was there all along.”

ii · Fair play

You can actually solve it

Every clue leads somewhere. Red herrings resolve. The evidence always supports the verdict — if you read it carefully enough.

iii · Real documents

Forensic. Atmospheric. Specific.

A forensic report looks like a forensic report. A newspaper cutting looks cut from a newspaper. Nothing is designed to look like a game.

iv · For a circle

The perfect evening

Three to six minds, two unhurried hours. Bring suspicion. Bring a drink. Leave the phones face-down.
