Success requires identifying the culprit, explaining the method, and proving the motive with cold, hard facts. You can play this detective game right now in your browser with zero downloads required. Logic is your only weapon against the clever villains hiding in these cases.
How to play
Your task is to solve the crime.
Reveal cards containing clues, documents, witness statements, and forensic reports. If two materials are logically connected, link them with red string. Correct connections unlock new evidence and help you build investigation theories.
Stay alert: not every clue leads to the culprit. False leads and incorrect connections waste moves and make the investigation harder.
Once you have gathered enough evidence, make your accusation. You will need to determine:
* who committed the crime;
* how it was committed;
* what motive is proven by the evidence you found.
Solve every case, improve your results, and prove that you deserve the title of best detective.
