Catch a Killer Mini Mystery: Red Dahlia is a fast-paced murder mystery case file game designed to be solved in approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
This is not a roleplaying game. There are no characters to assign, costumes to wear, or scripts to perform.

No subscription is required. You will receive the complete case and a definitive solution with evidence identifying the killer.
Murder Mystery Synopsis
The Red Dahlia Resort was meant to be Blair Torrance’s paradise—the newly acquired crown jewel of the Torrance family empire. Beneath the resort’s five-star luxury, however, lies a tangled web of betrayal, greed, and blood-soaked secrets.
Someone has ensured that Blair Torrance will never check out. The Hemlock Isle Police Department has formally requested the assistance of Dr. Casey Gold, a renowned criminal psychologist tasked with investigating five suspects connected to the murder.
Time is running out—and so are the lies. You must examine the evidence, analyze the suspects, identify contradictions, and determine who murdered Blair Torrance. Can you expose the killer hiding beneath the polished surface of the Red Dahlia Resort?
