A cooperative detective game built from realistic case files that you piece together to solve an environmental scandal.
Who it's for
Groups who enjoy slow-burn detective work and like handling physical evidence together without any pressure from a clock.
Not for you if…
You want fast-paced or replayable gameplay — this is a single-case mystery meant to be solved once, carefully.
Vibe's take
Methodical and immersive, closer to a true-crime deep dive than a race, with the tension coming from doubt rather than a clock.
Crime Files hands players real-feeling police evidence — lab reports, newspaper clippings, fingerprints — and asks them to piece together an environmental scandal in the fictional town of Hensfeld. Working as a team of investigators, you sift through documents at your own pace, with no timer forcing rushed conclusions. Success depends entirely on how carefully the group reads between the lines.
