▸ Okay, but what the heck IS this?

Catch Whodunit provides puzzling online Murder Mystery Cases and Experiences for crime-solving sleuths. You get to feel like a real detective without being chased by bad guys or getting your hands bloody.

Imagine a murder mystery novel come to life, or stepping straight onto the set of your favorite crime TV show and solving the case.

The (fake) deadly world of Night Falls is detailed and complete, so solving cases means listening to suspect interviews, reviewing reports and crime scenes, searching for hidden clues, doing puzzles, and issuing arrest warrants (just as a taste).

▸ What’s a Murder Mystery Case?

A Case is a complete Murder Mystery you can access right away and solve by yourself, or with friends. Shop our complete cases here.

▸ What’s a Murder Mystery Experience?

Experiences are virtual events we run several times a year. Test your sleuthing skills against other gumshoes in a race to solve the case and collect your reward.

Experiences are by invitation so make sure you’re on our mailing list to get notified when the next one's happening.

▸ How do I sign up and join The Bureau?

Don your trench coat and slink into the shop to see the current cases. Choose your murder and boom, you’re in. Happy sleuthing.
