Can you solve a case that was buried for 12 years?

Step into THE RED FILE — VEYOWORLD CASE FILES / CASE FILE 001, a premium printable cold case murder mystery game for adults designed to make you feel like a real investigator reviewing evidence from a compromised police investigation.

In 2014, investigative journalist Elena Vale disappeared while working on a secret investigation connected to the Harbor East redevelopment project.

Her car was recovered near an abandoned train station.

Her phone was inside.

Her bag was missing.

And 47 minutes after sending one final warning, Elena vanished.

The case was eventually closed.

Twelve years later, an unregistered red file is discovered inside archived evidence.

Some of the documents inside should have been part of the original investigation.

They never were.

Now the case is yours.

Reopen the evidence. Find the lie. Solve the case.

A Full Cold Case Investigation Experience

This is not a simple worksheet or short puzzle game.

You will investigate the case through 50 professionally designed printable pages filled with realistic evidence, conflicting statements, hidden connections and investigative records.

Examine:

Police incident reports
Witness interviews
Suspect profiles
CCTV evidence
Phone and message records
GPS route data
Financial records
Property documents
Evidence-room logs
Newspaper archives
Handwritten notes
Timeline records
Internal police documents
Evidence discrepancies
Investigator worksheets
Final case-report pages
Printable evidence tags and case-file extras

Every document has a purpose.

Every timestamp matters.

Every contradiction can change your theory.

Evidence Pack System

Instead of reading the mystery like a normal book, the investigation unfolds through separate evidence stages:

CASE PACK A — THE ORIGINAL FILE

Begin with the official investigation and build your first theory.

CASE PACK B — THE RED FILE

Discover documents that were never properly included in the original case.

CASE PACK C — UNRECORDED EVIDENCE

New evidence forces you to reconsider what you thought you knew.

FINAL CASE REVIEW

Submit your conclusion before opening the solution.

You must determine:

WHAT happened to Elena Vale?

WHO was responsible?

WHY did it happen?

WHAT evidence proves your theory?

Guessing the suspect is not enough.

You have to build the case.

What Makes THE RED FILE Different?

THE RED FILE is designed to feel like an actual archived police investigation rather than a traditional party-game script.

There are no cartoon characters.

No numbered “Puzzle 1 / Puzzle 2” structure.

No constant instructions telling you exactly what to inspect.

Instead, you receive documents and evidence and decide for yourself:

What matters?

Who is lying?

Which timeline is impossible?

Which evidence was overlooked?

And why was this case really closed?

The deeper you investigate, the more the case changes.

Printable Physical Case-File Experience

The package also contains printable extras that can be cut out and used to create your own physical investigation desk, including:

Evidence pack envelope labels
Evidence tags
Case stickers
Persons of Interest cards
Red File tab
Investigator ID
Evidence seal
Case-file spine label
Solved-case insert

Print the documents, organize your evidence and turn your table into a real cold-case investigation.

Important

This is a digital product. No physical item will be shipped.

For the best experience, avoid opening the Case Reveal / Solution pages until you have completed your Final Case Report.

Some pages intentionally contain suspicious statements, incomplete records and contradictions. These are part of the investigation.
