Yes. The daily case and 4 more cases are free forever, in solo, same-device duo, async duo and live co-op — and there are no ads. In-game voice and the Voice-Only mode come with the pass. Every other case unlocks with a 24-hour pass ($3.99) or a lifetime unlock ($9.99) — single payments, no subscription — and when you host, your partner plays free.
Not to play. The free cases work anonymously. Signing in with a magic link (no password) syncs your progress across devices — and it's required to buy a pass or the lifetime unlock, so it follows you everywhere.
One player is the Senior Detective (sees crime scene, physical evidence, forensics). The other is the Criminal Profiler (sees suspect interviews, communications). You meet on the evidence board to combine theories and make a joint accusation.
In Open, both players see the same evidence board in real-time — every pin and string the other places. In Voice-Only, you each only see your own connections; you have to verbally describe what you've found. Much harder, more rewarding.
Yes. Voice runs peer-to-peer over encrypted WebRTC straight between your two devices — it never touches our servers and nothing is recorded or stored.
No — voice runs inside the game. You just click "Start Voice" and allow the microphone. Voice is part of the 24-hour pass and the lifetime unlock — if your partner has it and turns voice on first, you join free.
Yes — two ways. Async: Player 1 plays and exports a session code. Player 2 enters the code on their device. Live: Player 1 creates a real-time session, sends a link. Player 2 opens the link on their device, you both see the board live.
Out of 100. Evidence board (key connections found): up to 60. Correct accusation: 30. Speed bonus: up to 10. Penalties: -5 per wrong connection, -10 per hint used.
Some cases have variants — a different killer with different key evidence, randomly selected each session. So even if you remember whodunit, your next run might point to someone else.
Yes. We removed the fake stats. The leaderboard counts actual runs submitted by real players for today's case. Resets at midnight UTC.
Not yet. A custom case studio is on the roadmap — you'll be able to design suspects, evidence, and crime scenes, and send the case to friends as a link.
Yes. It runs in any modern mobile browser with nothing to install; a tablet or larger phone gives the evidence board more room.
Yes. The whole game — every screen and every case file — is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Turkish. Pick your language in the menu.
