Step into a full case file: read the dossier, examine the crime scene, question suspects, and weigh the evidence — then submit your accusation. Killer, method, location. Get one wrong and you’ll know exactly which to fix.
Murder Mystery Cases are full text investigations, not word-search or logic puzzles. Each case opens with a dossier — the victim, the date and location of death, and the official status of the investigation — then lets you explore the crime scene, review physical evidence, read witness statements, and question every suspect directly. Once you’ve worked through the evidence and the interrogation, you submit a single accusation: the killer, the method, and the location. Get all three right and the case closes.
Open the dossier: the victim, the date and location of death, and the official status of the case so far.
Examine the crime scene and evidence, read witness statements, question every suspect, and uncover any secret notes along the way.
Once you’ve reviewed the evidence and answered the interrogation questions, move to the Accusation stage.
Name the killer, the method, and the location. Get one wrong and you’ll find out which field to reconsider — get all three right and the case closes.
MurdSearch: find every word in a letter grid except one — the missing word is your first clue.
Murder Mystery Cases: read a full case file — dossier, suspects, evidence, secret notes, interrogation — before you’re ready to accuse anyone.
Mystery Sudoku: place every suspect on a floor plan using spatial logic clues, no reading required.
Murder Mystery Cases: there’s no grid or floor plan to solve — the case is told and investigated through text, evidence, and questioning.
Other formats end when a puzzle mechanic is complete.
Murder Mystery Cases gates the accusation itself: you can’t submit until you’ve reviewed every piece of evidence and answered every interrogation question.

Work through the case stages in any order — dossier, suspects, story, crime scene, statements, evidence, secret notes, and interrogation — then move to the Accusation stage once you’ve reviewed the evidence and answered the interrogation questions.
