About Tall Tales Mysteries

Examine the evidence delivered to your door, discover clues online and let your inner detective solve the cold case. Will you find out whodunit?

I'm Sara and I run Tall Tales Mysteries,, a murder mystery company bringing you laugh out loud nights out around the North East of England. I write all our plots with lots of twists and turns and they're a great night out.

Now I've created a series of Investigations for you to play at home for a great night in.

Each case can be played independently but if you buy all six games there is a seventh, hidden game with evidence at the back of each case file box that you can solve as a bonus.

There are four current games with difficulty levels from easy to challenging. It's always a good idea to start with the easiest game if you haven't played a cold case file game before.

Right now you can play The Death Of Gideon Love, The Case Of Percy de Vere, The Mystery Of Malia Kay and The Sad Case Of Samuel Hardiman. There are two more games, The Kidnap Of Fortune Flight and The Case Of Paola Jones on the way.

Each game is set in the town and seaside village of Greater Questing and Little Questing with a crime rate to rival Midsomer!

How to play our games

Each of our games are slightly different in format

1. Choose which of our unsolved mystery games you want to play and get ready to turn detective to solve it.

Your case will arrive through the post and then it’s up to you to discover whodunit.

2.If you’re planning to play alone, you can start straight away. It’s great to get stuck in but there’s a lot of information to take in with each case so you’ll want to set aside a few hours or even play an hour each day over several days.

If you’re playing with friends pick a date and decide if you’re playing over drinks and snacks or sharing a meal together whilst you investigate.

3.Set up your murder board either on a flat surface or stuck to a wall or cupboard. This is your board and your map so you can mark them as you wish.

4. Examine all the evidence in the confidential case files.

5. Move on to the smaller envelopes. Some games need you to open them in order, others you can open in the order you choose.

6. Head online to make your accusation and see if you solved the case.
