A Fortune to Die For, a printable murder mystery dinner party game
Two ways to spend an evening with a killer

Act it out, or work the file.

The dinner party

Your guests ARE the suspects.

A hosted murder-mystery dinner. Everyone gets a character with a costume, a secret, and a motive; someone at the table is the killer, and nobody knows who, not even them. You mingle, accuse, vote, and the sealed solution settles it. Two titles, 6 to 20 players, about 2.5 hours, and the host plays too.

The case files

You ARE the detective.

A printed evidence dossier: coroner's reports, interviews, recovered photos, sealed packets. No acting, no host. You spread it across the table, read, argue, and prove who did it from the paper in your hands. 1 to 4 players working the file together, at your own pace.

Meet the casts
The collection

Pick your night.

Two lines, one obsession with getting the details right. Party Files turn your dinner table into the scene of the crime. Casefiles are printed dossiers one to four people investigate together.

What makes a Cold Ink case different

The evidence looks real because we make it real.

No game-y tells

You solve it by noticing.

No arrows, no highlighted clues, no "look here" stamps. Every document looks exactly like the real thing. The smoking gun is a blank signature line or a timestamp that does not add up, and you have to catch it.

A fair, solvable case

One killer. One answer.

Three suspects look guilty. Only one is. Every case is built so the truth is provable from the file in front of you, never a lucky guess. Check yourself when you are ready, or open the sealed solution.

Made by hand in Canada

Stamped, numbered, real.

Designed, printed, and assembled in Canada. Bilingual official forms, photo-lab prints, wax-look seals, signatures. A case file you would believe walked out of an evidence room.

How a casefile plays

You don't play it. You investigate it.

Open the folder. Spread the evidence across the table. Read the coroner's preliminary, the witness statements, the gate log. Argue with whoever you brought along. Break the sealed packets in order. Each one ends with the next objective.

Was it murder? How was it done? Who did it? Three answers, drawn straight from the paper in your hands.
