About

Good mysteries start on paper.

Downloadable games · Real stories · Curious minds

Paper Detective makes printable detective case files for people who'd rather investigate a mystery than watch one. Every case is host-free: download it, print or open it on screen, and work through the evidence with a pen in hand.

The cases are built around a simple idea — two curious people, the same evidence, and no one holding the answer in advance. You review the records, test the witnesses, follow the timeline, and argue your way to a conclusion. Solo detectives and small groups of up to four are just as welcome.

Each case is numbered and stands completely on its own — no ongoing story to keep up with, no characters to remember between files. What carries across the series is the format: real evidence, one true solution, and everything you need contained in the file itself.

What we believe

• A good mystery is solved with evidence, not guesswork.
• No one should have to host, perform, or already know the answer.
• A printable file should be pleasant to actually print.
• The fun is in the disagreement — comparing theories before the reveal.
