How to play

Every case is fair. The truth is always in the file: no trivia, no guessing, no outside knowledge needed.

1. 1

   Brief

   Read the police report: who died, where, when and how. It takes under a minute.

2. 2

   Examine

   Open every exhibit. Documents are searchable, photos zoom, CCTV scrubs and audio comes with a transcript.

3. 3

   Interrogate

   Read each suspect's statements. When the evidence disproves one, flag it and link the evidence.

4. 4

   Objectives

   Full cases have three objectives. Each one you clear unseals the next layer of evidence.

5. 5

   Theorise

   Pin suspects and evidence to the board, string them together, and rule people out.

6. 6

   Accuse

   One accusation, and only one. Name the killer and cite up to three pieces of evidence.

7. 7

   Resolve & share

   See the full solution and the clues you missed, then share a spoiler-free result.

Scoring

Naming the right killer is worth 40 points. Citing the right evidence is worth 20. The rest comes from accurate objective answers, pace, hints used and how much of the file you examined. Grades run S, A, B, C, D. A wrong accusation means the case goes cold. Revealing a full solution hint caps your grade at C.

Playing as a group

Open a case, choose Play as group and add 2 to 6 names. Cast the tab to a TV. Type gets larger, read-aloud buttons appear, and the accusation becomes a vote.

Accessibility

Every photo has a written description, every recording a transcript. Evidence types use colour, icon and label together. Text size and motion can be changed in settings, and everything works by keyboard.
