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.

The detectives have spoken

Very good story, with challenging tasks and interesting details about Brussels.
top on a passé une très belle année
excellent, chouette énigme à résoudre entre amis
Super enquête pour découvrir Bruxelles
Chouette d'expérience, super drôle !
on the long side
Harold le petit coquin
super jeu sauf qu il ne faudrait qu un seul téléphone par groupe car quand une personne valide,
plan un peu trop imprécis. \nun système tels que Google maps serait plus adapté et plus réel
les transitions pourraient être plus réfléchies et élaborées \nune histoire moins obvious
Un peu longuet mais très bien construit ! Fait découvrir Bxl
Petit bug à la banque. À part ça, super aventure !
