How to play.
A new mystery each day. One case. Five guesses. The whole town is watching.
Read the case
Each morning a new mystery drops from Caldmere. Open the case file and read it carefully — every detail matters. The story is the evidence.
Investigate
Tap on suspects to open their dossier — bio, role, connections, prior cases. Look for inconsistencies, motive, and access. The town is small. Three people are the wrong ones.
Request clues
Stuck? You can unlock up to four clues. Each costs nothing — except the satisfaction of figuring it out yourself. Top ranks go to sleuths who finish blind.
Accuse
You have five guesses. Name who, where, and why. Every wrong accusation reveals a fresh clue and sends you back to the file. Submit too early and you spend a guess; submit too late and the rank slips.
Share the verdict
Solved or stumped, share your result without spoilers. A poster, a dossier, or a ticket — pick the card that fits the case and post it. The case stays sealed for everyone else.
Compete on the leaderboard
Every solved case lands you on the daily, weekly, and monthly boards — ranked by stars, clues used, and guesses spent. To appear on the boards you need a display name, which comes free with a quick sign-up. Sign up on the same browser you’ve been playing on and your past solves come with you. Anonymous scores stay off the record.
