Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, this is not a problem. Each participant will receive their own login details, allowing them to log in from their own location. Each participant will also have access to the complete case file. This would allow you to opt for a competitive element in solving the murder investigation, rather than completing it collaboratively. However, please note that a murder investigation takes longer when participants dont communicate among themselves. Of course, you can also solve a murder case collaboratively from the same location or, for instance, pair up and log in jointly using a single account.

If you wish to order two different murder cases simultaneously, do so using two different email addresses. If you order two different murder cases on the same email address, you will receive information and evidence materials for the two murder cases at once. This can cause a lot of confusion during the murder investigation. It's better to create two different accounts.

The investigation of a murder case typically occurs at your home or at a location of your choice. This could be anywhere in the Netherlands or Belgium. To investigate a murder case, you'll need a computer or iPad with an internet connection. Throughout the investigation, you'll need to log in to our online crime database. Therefore, an internet connection is required during the investigation.

A murder case can be solved individually or as a team. Murder cases are suitable for teams of up to 12 people and can be ordered for groups of up to 100 people. Groups larger than 12 are divided into multiple teams. As each participant receives their own login credentials, you can organize the teams as you prefer. You can choose to let participants play individually, form pairs, or divide the group into larger teams. Adding a competitive element is also possible.

The automatically emailed order confirmation also serves as the invoice for your order. The payment details are included in the email sent to you. Make sure to check your spam folder, as it can happen that internet providers sometimes block these automatically sent confirmations/invoices. If this occurs, please contact us.

Since each participant receives their login credentials, you can decide whether the participants work on the murder investigation individually, in teams, or as a single unit. Participants can work separately on the murder investigation. However, all participants need to work on the murder investigation at the same time. The order applies to a single murder investigation, and access to the case remains open for 3 months or until the perpetrator is found. If the perpetrator is found by a participant, access to the case is eventually closed for all participants.

The average duration of each murder investigation is always specified in the case. The actual time spent on the investigation depends on how quickly you read the information, whether the participants discuss their findings, and how swiftly you can locate clues and examine evidence materials. Hence, this varies from person to person. A team of 1 to 4 people can solve a murder case in one evening, but you can also choose to spread it across multiple evenings or even weeks. Initially, you get three months of access to the online crime database or until you complete the case. If it's inconvenient to work on the murder investigation, you can always contact us, and we'll extend access to the case and the online crime database at no additional cost.
