Terms of use
Last updated 3 November 2026
Cold Case Files is a free game run as a side project by Kishan Bisoyi. By signing in and playing, you agree to these terms. See the privacy policy for how your data is handled.
Playing fair
- One account per person.
- Don't post solutions publicly while a weekly case is live. It spoils the case for everyone else.
- Don't try to cheat the leaderboard, break the game or access other players' data.
Detective names
Your username is public. Don't choose one that is offensive, impersonates someone, or mocks the people in these cases. Names that break this rule may be changed or removed.
About the cases
Every case is based on real historical events and public records, and real people died in them. Cases are retold for learning and play, with respect for those involved. Some details are simplified or dramatized for the game, so treat it as a starting point, not a history book.
The service
The game is provided as it is, for free. It may change, go offline, or have its scores reset, especially while it's new. Accounts that break these terms may be suspended.
