The case board, before the cases.
Nothing is written yet, which means every suspect is still innocent. Here's what's pinned to the board — red string sold separately.
[..] episodic mysteries — one village, many suspects, endless secrets
[..] clue-by-clue play — interrogate, deduce, accuse at your own pace
[..] cozy by design — tea-warm art, zero gore, maximum smug
[..] offline friendly — a whole mystery fits in a waiting room
opening night

Writing starts October 2026 — the alibis are already prepared. Join the list and you'll be first to see the case files, first to meet the village, and first on the suspect board. It's an honor, really.

Common questions.
when does the Cozy Crimes App come out?
Production begins October 2026. Writing starts then, so no release date is published yet — anything earlier than that would be a guess.
what platforms will it run on?
iOS and Android.
is it violent or scary?
No. It is a cozy mystery by design: tea-warm art, zero gore, and nobody actually gets hurt. The tension comes from the puzzle, not from threat.
how does a cozy mystery game actually play?
Episodically, one clue at a time. You interrogate the village, deduce at your own pace, and accuse when you are ready — there is no timer pushing you.
does it need an internet connection?
It is built to be offline friendly. A whole mystery is meant to fit in a waiting room.
how do I get in early?
Join the suspect list on this page. Everyone on it sees the case files and meets the village before release.
