An online detective game about clues and investigations

Detective: Your Case is a single-player crime-solving game for your browser. Examine colorful scenes, read documents, question witnesses and check their accounts. To identify the culprit, connect the evidence with the method and motive behind the crime.

Different places, different mysteries

The campaign contains 21 self-contained investigations. Start in a manor, then explore a bakery, harbor, train, theater, observatory, glasshouse and more. Some cases are murder mysteries; others involve theft, substitution or sabotage. Detailed cartoon scenes show the objects you can examine, while written inspection notes reveal the information you need.

How to investigate a case

  1. Select Play, choose an unlocked case and read the briefing.
  2. Hover over an object or select it to examine a clue. Important findings are saved in your case notebook.
  3. Interview witnesses. Evidence and other statements unlock new questions. Compare their accounts: people may be mistaken or conceal the truth.
  4. Once you have gathered the materials, present your theory: who committed the crime, how and why. A correct solution reveals an explanation of the case.

Mystery solving through observation and deduction

Spotting an object is only the beginning: work out how it fits the statements. A nervous witness is not necessarily guilty. Read the documents, look for contradictions and revisit earlier questions. There is no investigation timer, so you can take your time with the evidence.

Questions about the game

Do I need to download anything?

No. Play directly in your browser. An internet connection is needed to retrieve case materials and save your progress.

How many people can play?

These investigations are designed for one player. You examine the scene, question the witnesses and decide on the final theory yourself.

How do I unlock more cases?

Cases unlock in order. An incorrect theory still unlocks the next case in the first three. From case four, a correct solution is required; an incorrect theory means a 15-minute wait before retrying.

Which languages are available?

The interface, evidence, statements and case explanations are available in Russian, English and Chinese. Changing the language keeps your progress.
