Case Notes
Inside the Investigation
01
Think Like a Detective
Every investigation is a closed logic puzzle. Gather suspect information, uncover environmental clues, and sort through conflicting accounts to deduce who is lying. Guesswork won't take you far. Success comes from seeing which facts don't add up.
02
London's Mysterious Underbelly
The 'Big Smoke' never slows down, and neither does the work. Tackle three distinct cases across the iconic city, from a strangled musician in a Soho alley to the night every clock at Big Ben stopped. Rise from bumbling rookie to one of Scotland Yard's brightest.
03
Cozy Noir Mystery
A brighter take on 1960s noir: hand-drawn 2D scenes, a gentle jazz-inspired soundtrack, soft rain and quiet moments. Subtle shadows set the mood. Settle into this cozy brain teaser and solve each case at your own pace.
The Method
Deduction, Step by Step
Pure deduction, start to finish. Read the statements, map the logic, and reason your way to the one suspect whose story falls apart.
Step 01
Collect the Statements
Interview suspects and witnesses. Every line is a clue, or a lie waiting to be caught.
Step 02
Map the Contradictions
Lay the accounts side by side. When two truths can't both hold, one of them breaks.
Step 03
Cross-Examine
Pin each suspect to a time, a place, a motive. Watch the alibis buckle under pressure.
Step 04
Name the Culprit
One solution. Fully provable. Close the file and earn your reputation at the Yard.
The Files
Three Cases. One City.
Each file is a self-contained mystery, roughly 5 to 30 minutes of pure deduction.
