How to Play
Read the case file: what was taken, where, and when.
Tap Examine on every evidence item. Fingerprints and fibers can point to a suspect; camera and receipt evidence can clear one.
Tap Rule out on suspects the evidence clears. Fern stops you if examined evidence contradicts a rule-out.
When one suspect remains, tap Accuse and confirm. A right accusation closes the case; a wrong one ends it with the true culprit revealed.
Scoring: 10 points per item examined, 15 per innocent ruled out, 50 for a correct accusation, plus bonuses for a full evidence sweep and a clean rule-out round. Keyboard: keys 1–6 examine evidence in order.
Fern's catchphrases: "Every clue tells a story!" on launch, "Case closed!" on a win, "Not so fast — check the evidence!" when a rule-out contradicts the evidence.
