How to play
In The Detective you are in charge of the case. Each case is a short story about something that went missing or went wrong, plus three suspects who each make one statement about what they did. Two of them are telling the truth and exactly one is lying. Your job is to prove which one from the evidence.
- Choose a difficulty, then pick a case from the list. Cases you have already solved are marked.
- Read the story and the three statements calmly. Note what each statement actually claims: a time, a place, a colour, an object being moved.
- Open the evidence one piece at a time; opening it is free. Highlight any piece that looks important so it stays in view.
- Need help? A case has up to three hints, each paid with coins from your wallet, and each one points you closer to the answer.
- Choose the liar and confirm your verdict. You only get one attempt, after which the solution appears with an explanation of which evidence exposed the lie.
- In a room with friends, everyone votes for a suspect and the team majority decides the verdict.
