• Use your notebook - Keep track of every observation and witness statement in your notebook, where each scene has its own dedicated page for easy reference when you need it most.
• Draw your own conclusions - Combine clues in your notebook to unlock new conclusions on your deduction board. Piece together the facts and identify the true culprit from a list of suspects.
• Your choices will matter - Your choice of culprit in each of the four cases determines the outcome, making this a true test of your deductive skills. A sharp eye and keen mind are your greatest weapons in the fight against crime.
