Thank you for a great year!
2024-12-31
The 2024 was, so far, the best in the history of The Lone Detective - year to year the number of users went up by 33%, user activity by almost 50% and the number of bad guys who were put in jail by you went up 160%! At the same time, the number of users who ended their sleuth careers before they even started (by breaking the Life is Too Short Policy) went down by 50%.
Also, the mechanism that allows users to rate the cases they have solved brought an interesting feedback, but overall the average rating given by all detectives this year was 4.64 out of 5, which is amazing - thank you!
And, of course, we want to say a big thank you to the donors, who invested their hard-earned money into support of The Lone Detective.
We are working on a few new cases, some of which will be published at the beginning of 2025, so hopefully you will like what is coming soon!
