Printable Case Kits — $19.99 each

Silent Mode

Six people. Zero phones. One murder nobody can alibi. A complete printable murder mystery kit. Download, print, and host your own investigation night — evidence files, suspect dossiers, and a solution envelope included. No apps, no accounts, yours forever. See the Silent Mode kit.

Ring Light

2.3 million people watched her die. Only five of them could have done it. A complete printable murder mystery set inside a live-streaming content house. Download, print, and investigate: chat logs, DMs, smart-lock records, financials, and a sealed solution. Remote-friendly by design — every document reads perfectly on a shared screen. See the Ring Light kit.

Dead Air

The whole town heard him die at 2:14 AM. The whole town was wrong. A complete printable murder mystery set in a small-town radio station in October 1987. Mid-song, the music stopped — and the town's beloved overnight DJ was found dead under the ON AIR lamp. Five suspects, five alibis built on what they heard on the radio, and thirty-eight seconds of erased tape. Break the clock, restore the tape, and name the killer. See the Dead Air kit.

Crossfade

Four hundred people counted down to midnight. One of them already knew how the night would end. A complete printable murder mystery set at Club Gemini, an Atlantic City disco, on New Year's Eve 1977. The lights went out for the countdown and stayed out four minutes too long — and at 1:38 AM the club's owner was found dead in the walk-in cold room. No wound, no struggle, and no glass. Five suspects, twelve evidence documents, and two hidden clocks that both demand a little arithmetic. Prove the method, fix the real time of death, and name the killer. See the Crossfade kit.

Proof

Five finalists. Twelve cameras. One murder nobody filmed. A complete printable murder mystery set at the season finale of a hit streaming baking show. An unscheduled reset pulled every camera into Kitchen B, leaving the proofing corridor with no eyes on it at all — and before the final loaves came out, head judge Desmond Hale was found dead outside Proofing Room 3, a cabinet still running at ninety-five degrees beside him. No wound, no struggle, five airtight alibis. Twelve evidence documents hide two independent clocks — one mechanical, one alive. Prove the method, fix the real time of death, and name the killer. See the Proof kit.

Detective Tees — sold & shipped by Amazon

It's Always the Quiet Ones

Every game night has one. Watch them. A vintage case-file print in aged crime-desk style — CONFIDENTIAL folder, inked fingerprint card, and an evidence seal that says what the whole table is thinking. Fair warning for the player who says nothing all game, then names the killer with two objectives to spare. See the It's Always the Quiet Ones shirt.

Professional Armchair Detective

Solving crimes from the couch. Zero jurisdiction. Never wrong. The full couch-sleuth starter kit in one warm retro print — wingback armchair, deerstalker cap, magnifying glass, and a mug of something hot. For the friend who has watched every true-crime doc twice, pauses the episode to explain the timeline, and treats every game night like an open case. See the Professional Armchair Detective shirt.

Game Night: Everyone's a Suspect

Be kind. Rewind. Interrogate. A retro VHS sleeve straight from the late-night thriller shelf — chrome lettering, static glitch, tracking lines and all. GAME NIGHT on the label, EVERYONE'S A SUSPECT in the fine print. Wear it while you host so the table knows the rules: trust no one, especially whoever brought the snacks. See the Game Night: Everyone's a Suspect shirt.
