How it works

  1. Choose a case. Level 1 is perfect for a first game; level 3 will fool most grown-up detectives.
  2. Print and hide six posters – or play every clue on screen. Each poster has a witness, a statement and a piece of evidence.
  3. Compare the clues. Times, alibis and small details only make sense when you put them together.
  4. Scan the code and name the culprit. Sign in with Google to submit your answer, see the solution and keep track of the cases you've cracked.
