Midnight Casebook
A new detective case every midnight. Search the scene and name the culprit.
A game by ElliSekiz Games
Coming soon to App Store & Google Play
A new mystery lands on your desk every midnight. Midnight Casebook is a daily detective game in the spirit of classic noir: each day brings a fresh, hand-crafted case set somewhere in the world — a jazz club in New Orleans, a silk atelier in Lyon, an antique shop in İzmir.
Sweep the crime scene with your flashlight, read and listen to fully voiced witness statements, pin the evidence to your board and line up the timeline. Then make your accusation — who did it, how, and why — before your three accusations run out.
Every case is fair: everything you need is in the file, and graded hints point the way without giving the answer away. Everyone gets the same case on the same day, so you can climb the daily, weekly and all-time standings and keep your streak alive.
