Two Cases. One Bigger Story.

Most murder mystery games stop after one case.

This one is just getting started.

You’ll investigate:

A cold case that was never fully solved
A fresh case that changes everything

As you dig deeper, you’ll begin to uncover how the two are connected… and what was missed the first time.

The Cases

In the small town of Hazel Point, tragedy struck the historic Rosa Theatre.

Cold Case 2016

A fire breaks out backstage. Beloved performer Tessa Bromin dies. The case goes cold.

Suspects

The stalker
The ex-boyfriend
The understudy
The jealous sister
The troubled nephew
The brother-in-law

Fresh Murder Case 2020

Four years later, another tragedy. Carol Wallace — Tessa’s sister — dies under suspicious circumstances.

Now a new investigation begins, and there’s a strong chance the two cases are connected.

Suspects

The fired actor
The troubled son
The estranged husband
The resentful employees
The theatre curse

The guilty. The innocent. Some of them are lying. You need to uncover what they’re trying to keep hidden.

Play Your Way

There’s no right way to play.

Play solo like an immersive mystery novel
Work through it with a friend or partner
Turn it into a group experience

Play for 10 minutes… or lose yourself for hours.

At home, in the car line, at practice, or on the couch—your investigation fits your life.

How the Investigation Works

1. Investigate the Cold Case: Review police files from Det. David in 2016.

2. Take notes: Use the provided worksheets to keep track of what you see and read, and who you think are suspects or just witnesses. You will want to refer to them as the investigation unfolds.

3. Investigate the Fresh Murder Case: Review the case files that Det. Jacobs sees in 2020.

4. Take (more) notes: There is also a worksheet for this new murder to help you keep track of things you believe are clues and vital to the fresh murder investigation.

5. Solve Both Murders: Use the storyline and characters that extend across both cases, the interviews (very important), and the other case files to untangle the truth behind these two intertwined cases to reveal who killed Tessa — and who killed Carol.

Reviews from our Investigators

“This was such an engaging story. I found myself completely enthralled with the characters and both cases, working through every detail, trying to find connections. It was so much fun and really had me thinking through every possibility.”

“An engaging modern murder mystery that combines police procedural with a realistic, small town drama.”

“I consider myself an experienced interactive puzzle game player and this one really had me thinking. Having two cases to consider, investigate, and try to solve definitely gave me the challenge and a few surprises I love to find in games such as this.”

“I really enjoyed how this incorporated two murder mysteries within one. It was a fun game to solve with friends.”

“Death & the Rosa Theatre is an exceptional new take on murder mysteries. When you dig into the cold case, you are left with many unanswered questions. There are plenty of suspects though one cannot tie them to the murder. As you then work through the new case, there are clues that uncover what happened in the previous case. It's a delightful maze of clues, personalities, and a very creative storyline. Wonderfully written and very fun to work through!”

“This murder mystery isn't like any I've tried to solve before. There are two murders in the one box, which makes this mystery box even more thought provoking and attention grabbing than other murder mysteries I've played. This is a great game to play with your friends!”

“Great game! Was challenging and surprised me in the end!”
