Three months, three new cases, one very tired mail carrier. Here's what actually happened this summer, no filler included.
TWO NEW CASES, PLUS A SUMMER OF REWARDS
Summer was supposed to be slow. Nobody told us.
HAK x MORBID: THE SALEM SLICER
We handed a serial killer to Ash and Alaina, and Morbid let everyone know about them. Six victims, thirty years, one confession. The Salem Slicer is a top-seller , which means either we picked the right podcast or the right killer. Possibly both.
If you haven't cracked it yet: the case is still open, the Slicer is still talking, and the podcast episode is still the fastest way in. Ash and Alaina did the legwork. You get to take the credit.
BLOOD & INK
Somebody died with a tattoo they never asked for. That's the whole pitch for Blood & Ink, and it holds up: can you discover the killer who tattooed their victim…after the murder?
The sweepstakes attached to it is still running, and the prize is real; a tattoo from Bang Bang, the artist with a client list that reads like a tabloid. Entries close Sept 19. It’s almost impossible to get on his books, this might be your only way.
EVIDENCE LOCKER IS OPEN AGAIN
We launched a yearly membership and didn't have to twist a single arm (except our IT guy). Evidence Locker is $50 a year. That gets you early access to every new case before it goes public, shipping two weeks ahead of everyone else, free shipping on new games, and 1.5x points on everything you earn through Killer Rewards.
KILLER REWARDS IS LIVE
The points program launched alongside Evidence Locker, which means some of you have a balance sitting there doing nothing. Spend it. You solved a murder to earn it, the least we can do is let you cash in, detective.

A HARDER CASE FOR HARDENED DETECTIVES
So, you think you’re ready for a bigger challenge?
INTRODUCING ADVANCED INVESTIGATIONS
Advanced Investigations is the new top tier. Like the name suggests, it’s built for people who've already solved everything else on the shelf, and need, well, an advanced investigation. Ultra-premium evidence, roughly four times the gameplay of a standard case, and a difficulty rating that doesn't apologize for itself. EXPERT LEVEL UNLOCKED (fire blasts and drum banging).
THE BUGMAN
First in a trilogy, and the least reassuring pen pal we've ever given anyone. You already know who the killer is. What you don't know is where he buried the bodies, and he's mailing you the answer one envelope at a time, from inside a psychiatric facility - Listening Friends of America - which some of you mayyyyyy remember.
The Bugman is available now through Evidence Locker. Members get first access. Everyone else is welcome to catch up.
BURYING THE BOX SETS
Our first Advanced Investigation (The Bugman) is about to hit the crime scene. We’ve got to make room for new cases, which means it's your last chance to grab some of our classic box sets before they start to decompose. One month left! Place your orders by 10/1 for the following titles or their killers may slip away forever.
- Moon Summit Mystery
- Class of 98
- Starstruck
That's the quarter. More cases, more evidence, more reasons to check your mail with a little extra suspicion.
And remember detectives, do you have what it takes… to Hunt A Killer?
