About Crack the Case
Crack the Case is a deduction-based party game for 2 or more players, originally released by Milton Bradley in 1993. One player takes on the role of Moderator, presenting a mysterious scenario from a case card. The other players, working individually or as a team, must unravel the mystery by asking yes-or-no questions. Each case begins with a strange, often puzzling situation—ranging from light-hearted curiosities to darker crime scenes. Investigators must ask the right questions to piece together the full story hidden behind the initial setup. The Moderator uses a limited set of responses (“Yes,” “No,” “Irrelevant,” etc.) to guide them toward the solution. With 108 unique case cards and a timer to raise the stakes, Crack the Case is ideal for social gatherings, team play, or anyone who enjoys a good mystery challenge.
