Cold Case investigative game releases

Overview

The release of ‘Cold Case’ themed investigative products has expanded from physical board games to digital video game formats.

ThinkFun released realistic detective game editions designed to simulate criminal investigations using police reports, crime scene photographs, and witness interviews. These sets require players to reconstruct crime scenes and evaluate evidence, offering an online verification system for solutions.

Subsequently, BANJIHAGAMES introduced a ‘Cold Case’ video game that shifts the focus toward digital forensics. Rather than physical action, the gameplay involves using computer systems to recover fire-damaged documents, perform keyword searches, and compare testimonies to solve mysteries.
