Aspiring sleuths and amateur detectives alike have the chance to delve into the heart of Antarctica and crack the case for a shot at the £10,000 grand prize.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, April 30, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — In an innovative new approach to podcasting aspiring sleuths and amateur detectives alike have the chance to delve into the heart of Antarctica and crack the case for a shot at the £10,000 grand prize.

Gemma Batterby of Free Turn said “Cold Tapes, isn’t just a passport to excitement it’s also the chance to pocket some serious cash. With over 20 hours of immersive audio content, Cold Tapes offers mystery enthusiasts and competitive sleuths alike a compelling and entertaining experience. After listening and interrogating the alibis, motives and opportunities of each of the crew on the base listeners can then head to www.coldtapes.com where they can confront the difficult decision of selecting their prime suspect from a lineup of sixteen for a chance to win £10,000 grand prize”

Jon Hamm, CEO of Free Turn “As a child I was obsessed by Kit Williams and his book “Masquerade” and have wanted to do something similar ever since…it became clear that the way that audio can grab your imagination was perfect for this concept and that’s how Cold Tapes was born”

Hamm continued “Kit Williams is quoted as saying that when he was a child treasure hunts had bad puzzles and treasure that wasn’t worth finding. Which is why he created a real treasure, of gold, buried it in the ground and then painted real puzzles to lead people to it. Inspired by Williams’ pursuit of genuine treasure, we debated crafting a golden object like a golden magnifying glass, but with the realities of life for many people we decided that £10,000 cash was the ultimate prize people wanted. We did however want to honour the challenge of unravelling the mystery, hence our partnership with Crime Con for the prestigious Super Sleuth of the Year Award—a prize that definitely promises undeniable bragging rights.”

Gemma Batterby, “With everyone who gets the right answer entered into the draw for with the cash reward, plus the prestigious Super Sleuth of the Year Award at CrimeCon 2024, and the opportunity to have a character named after them in Cold Tapes Series 2, the stakes have never been higher and more exciting in the world of true crime podcasting.”
