Frequently asked questions about the game
Why there are gaps in the evidence?
They are there intentionally, to make the game more interesting. Why? Let's see what it would look like if there were no gaps - the body is found, the murder weapon is covered in John Smith's fingerprints, therefore he's the killer, case closed. Why did he do it? Doesn’t matter. What exactly happened? Irrelevant.
Why the case does not contain hard evidence that would allow the killer to be prosecuted?
That is the nature of this game - it is a logic-driven puzzle game, not a police procedure simulator. If you can build a logical theory based on the evidence available that will show the motive, the opportunity and the means to commit the crime, it is good enough to consider the case solved.
Does solving the cases require Premium Tokens?
No, of course not. Every case can be solved without any Premium Tokens. The informant help simply makes things easier, not possible.
I solved the case, but missed some evidence, how can I learn what I missed?
Only donors are provided with the case aftermath that explains the full story. You can become a donor even for a 1 USD.
How long do I have to wait for the Game Master's answer?
You will be notified via e-mail once your solution is reviewed - there is no schedule, it can take few minutes or sometimes few hours (we don't work around the clock).
Does every case have only one correct solution?
Actually no, some cases can have different solutions that are accepted as correct, even though they are not the "canonical" solution. But all of those solutions need to meet the same criteria - proof who, why and how could kill the victim.
