Cold Case: A Pinch of Murder

About this board game

Cold Case: A Pinch of Murder is a cooperative murder-mystery game for 1–4 players, with an approximate play time of 120 minutes. Together, players examine fictional files and materials connected to a decades-old murder.

This is a case-solving experience built around careful study and collaboration. Rather than competing against one another, players work as a team to inspect the available material, discuss what they find, and search for clues that may lead to the correct solution.

The investigation unfolds through the evidence provided in the game. Every file and piece of material is part of the players’ effort to understand the case, connect the clues, and determine what they believe happened.

• Review fictional files and case materials.
• Work cooperatively to look for clues.
• Decide on the solution to the decades-old murder.
• Visit the publisher’s website and answer questions to determine how well you did.

When the group feels confident about its conclusions, the final stage takes place online. Players go to the publisher’s website and answer a set of questions, allowing them to check the strength of their solution and see how well they solved the case.

Cold Case: A Pinch of Murder offers a focused cooperative puzzle for a solo player or a group of up to four. Its fictional evidence, clue-driven investigation, and online answer-checking process create a structured mystery session centered on observation, discussion, and deduction.
