- I.
Read the file
A body, a setting, a handful of people with a reason to lie. You get the facts everyone agrees on, and nothing more.
- II.
Question everyone
Ask the suspects anything, in your own words. Most are hiding something, and most of their secrets aren't murder.
- III.
Search and confront
Examine each place spot by spot. Pressure won't crack anyone; the right piece of evidence, shown to the right person, will.
- IV.
Name the killer
Who, why and how, each claim backed by proof. One accusation, then the full solution and your score.
“Nothing is improvised and nothing is random. The killer, the timeline and every secret are fixed before you open the file.”
From easy evenings to expert cases that reward a notebook and patience.
