CRIME FILES is a mystery game where you solve police cases in your browser. Every day a different case file is published, with its pixel-art crime scene, its suspects and its evidence. Your job: find out who did it, why and how.
Got five minutes? Try Alibis: four suspects, four places and four times. With just a few clues you have to work out where everyone was and who has no alibi. A new puzzle every day, with a single solution. Play Alibis
The Lineup has twenty-four suspects and only one culprit. Point at one and the witness tells you how alike they are: age, height, hair, distinguishing mark and district. You have six tries to find them. Play The Lineup
In The Autopsy you're the pathologist on duty. Walk around the room, collect your instruments and examine the body with a magnifier, a scalpel and UV light. Analyse samples under the microscope and sign your report: cause, manner and time of death. Play The Autopsy
THE VALDENIEVE EXPRESS
A train stuck in the snow, an art appraiser dead in his berth and a doctor far too sure of his diagnosis.
Difficulty · 35–55 min · 4 suspects
1. Examine the scene
Walk through the crime locations and search every object for evidence.
2. Interrogate
Question the suspects and show them the evidence: everyone is hiding something and not everything is what it seems.
3. Connect the clues
Lay out what you know on the board and rebuild the timeline of the night.
4. Accuse
Submit your report: culprit, motive, method and evidence. You only get one ranked attempt per day.
