About the game
A murder has been committed in Redmond, a small town just south of London, UK. The body of Chloe Whittle, a millionaire lottery winner, was found late at night in a local park, with a fatal stab wound to the chest. We’ve identified several suspects and assembled this case file of evidence, including photographs, maps, text chains, police reports and more. As the town’s leading detective, we’re relying on you to uncover the truth behind Chloe’s demise. We need you to analyze and cross-reference the evidence found within the case folder. Your mission is simple: Eliminate as many of the suspects as possible, so that we can find the killer (or killers) and bring them to justice. In addition to the evidence found here, you will also be required to access the internet to uncover further clues to help you solve this puzzling investigation. 29 PIECES OF PHYSICAL EVIDENCE - Inside the case file, you'll find newspaper articles, crime scene investigation photographs, receipts, betting slips, police reports, train times, CCTV footage, phone/text records, a coroners report, a map, witness statements, photographs and more. SEARCH THROUGH A POLICE INBOX - In addition to the physical evidence supplied inside of the box, you'll need to access an online police officer's inbox to prove the suspects innocent or guilty - but it's not easy...you'll need to be a smart investigator to gain access! You will be required to access the internet to view other important evidence linked to the case. A difficulty rating of 3.5/5 this "whodunnit" style thriller.
