November Case Files - Mid-Month Reveal | Deadline: December 4, 2021

Well, this year sure is flying by. Here we are in the middle of November. 

We hope you've had a chance to play with our first Case File, but if you haven't yet had time, don't worry--all three of our Case Files are open all month--plus a few extra days, until the 4th.


SPONSORS 

This month, we have seven generous sponsors donating prizes! Click here to read more about our sponsors and the prizes they are donating. Winners will be selected randomly from all of our players, with a few exceptions where sponsors have asked us to choose from certain geographic regions.



CASE FILES 

With fall weather in full swing, we're celebrating our cozy warm homes with our Case Files this month. As always, though, you don't have to scrap these topics--as you will see from the creative takes from our design team. Draw your own inspiration from The Scene on the Case File, or you can use the traditional clues, which can be found at the bottom of this blog post.

The CSI design team masterfully cracked the Case. We'll share how we solved the Case on Facebook.


















Here's how we solved our stash-busting Cold Case:
