Welcome to Cryptic Killers, the home of unsolved case file games and murder mysteries.
The Inception
Cryptic Killers all began when its founders, Luke Stephenson and Andrew Hobbs, met by chance at a beach bar halfway around the world. Over a few beers, they found a shared passion for creativity and innovation, and that passion would eventually lay the foundation for creating Cryptic Killers.
Their immersive games have now been enjoyed by millions of people across the globe.
