Description
How much time do you have to identify and arrest the mystery schemer and culprit lurking in the shadows? Working either solo or cooperatively with up to six people, use deductive skills to solve any of the 19 different cases included with this game. Each case is presented via a card that briefly describes the scenario, the challenge and the time given to solve it ranging from 3-9 minutes. Using scene cards, search for symbols that match one of the variations of the basic five shapes represented on a codex included with the game. If you can find and match the symbols correctly, you earn clues cards that help reveal which items or traits to look for among the suspect cards. Next, choose another scene card to identify additional symbols and earn additional clues. By the process of elimination, narrow down the suspects until you are confident enough to make an arrest. If you correctly identify the culprit before the time runs out, you close the case! There are three different levels of difficulty available to mix and match with your player’s skill level or desired total playtime. Game time varies depending on your choice of case files.
