The Black Folder Society is a mystery solving game. Every Monday a full case file opens: crime scene photographs, witness statements, phone records, a timeline, an evidence log. Suspects. One of them did it, and you have until Friday at 9pm to work out which one. Wednesdays you get to question the suspects directly. They're allowed to lie to you. Every case is written from scratch. Nobody in them is a real person. The first case opens Monday 24 August at 9am, and it's free.

You’ve been granted access. If you’re reading this, you’ve officially stepped inside The Black Folder...a place where every clue matters, every theory is tested, and every case is waiting to be solved. This isn’t a typical community. You’re not here to scroll endlessly or watch from the sidelines. You’re here to think like an investigator, analyze evidence, question suspects, and work alongside other members to uncover the truth behind each fictional case. Each investigation will include case files, crime scene photos, witness interviews, evidence logs, timelines, hidden clues, and unexpected twists. Throughout the week, new evidence may appear, changing everything you thought you knew. Clearly Fictional 🚧 Investigation Headquarters Under Construction Our investigation headquarters is currently being prepared as we build the best possible experience for every detective who joins. Our very first official case file will be released on Monday, August 24, 2026. Until then, you’ll start seeing sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes updates, detective tips, community polls, and previews of what’s to come. This is also the perfect time to invite friends and family who love mysteries, puzzles, escape rooms, or detective stories. 🎖️ Your First Assignment Introduce yourself in the comments and answer these three questions: 1. What city or state are you investigating from? 2. Have you ever solved an escape room or mystery before? 3. What makes a great detective: observation, logic, intuition, or teamwork? We’re excited to build this community with you from day one. The first folder is almost ready. The evidence is waiting. The truth is out there… See you on August 24th. 🗂️🔎
