Top secret mission

You work for the C.R.I.M.E. detective agency. Your boss has called you in for a briefing, and it is going to be a long day.

1

Threatening letters

Harold Walter, one of the richest men in the country, has been getting threatening letters for months. Plain old blackmail, or so everyone thinks at first. Everyone's wrong.

2

A bomb in town

The tycoon is being held hostage somewhere in town, a bomb strapped to him. Tick, tock. The countdown has started, and it will not wait for you.

3

Five suspects

His competitor, his wife, his secretary, his right-hand man, his lawyer. Places to visit, statements to collect, and truth to untangle from lies.

4

Time for theories

At the end of the investigation, you present your conclusions. Who did it? Why? How? Until then, expect a few surprises.

The suspect board

Four of the five suspects, pinned to the agency wall. Flip a card to read the detective's note, then make up your own mind.
