Frequently asked questions
What is ColdCase Party?
ColdCase Party is a real-time multiplayer mystery game you play in your browser. Best with 2–8 players; rooms support up to 20 total players, including the host. Examine the same evidence board together and solve a murder cooperatively.
Do I need to download anything?
No. ColdCase Party runs entirely in your web browser. No app, no installer, no signup required to try the first objective free.
How long does a case take?
Cases run 45–60 minutes depending on difficulty and group size. Start with the first objective of Canvas of Death; expert cases run a little longer.
Is it good for team building?
Yes. ColdCase Party is widely used as a virtual team-building activity because it requires real collaboration, communication, and reasoning — not just trivia. See team packages for groups up to 75.
How is this different from an escape room?
Unlike escape rooms, ColdCase Party focuses on detective-style investigation rather than physical puzzles. It's a virtual escape room alternative with no countdown clock pressure.
Can I play this on my phone?
Yes — the game is fully mobile-friendly. You can also cast it to a TV for a true party-game experience.
