Case File Sneak Peek
Cold Case Police Interview Excerpt
Location: HPPD Headquarters
Interviewer: Det. David, ID 174
Interview date: 7-16-16
Time: 11:45 pm
Interviewee: Carol Wallace, age 34
Relationship to victim: Sister
[BEGIN TRANSCRIPTION]
CAROL: My sister wasn’t feeling well during rehearsal earlier in the evening, so I assumed she was home. But if you’re looking for suspects, I can save you some time. It was probably Travis.
DET. DAVID: Travis… your son? You’re saying your son set the fire and killed his aunt?
CAROL: I’m saying he was in the back smoking. The theatre is old… a box of old programs in a dry cardboard box is all it would take.
DET. DAVID: You realize you’re implicating your son in your sister’s murder?
Play Solo or With a Team
No group? No problem.
You don’t need a team to start investigating.
Death & the Rosa Theatre is an immersive murder mystery game that supports solo play—no scheduling, no hosting, no waiting on anyone else.
Just you and the case files. And a murder. Or two.
Start when you want. Pause when you need to. Pick it back up anytime. Every clue, interview, and twist is designed to pull you deeper into the case—at your pace.
(And if you do want to team up, you can absolutely bring your own group of detectives along.)
Play on any device. No downloads. Start instantly.
Two cases. One big, satisfying 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.
Play Your Way
There’s no right way to investigate.
- 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. Investigate the Fresh Murder Case: Review the case files that Det. Jacobs sees in 2020.
3. 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.
