Mystery Detective

A cozy detective game with five silly cases. Search each scene for clues, question suspects with dialogue choices, show them evidence and use a deduction board to name the culprit.

Mystery Detective is a cozy deduction adventure with five short, silly cases. Each one drops you into a cartoon scene, from a village bake-off kitchen and a sleepy museum to a locker room, a backstage concert hall and an ice-cream shop, where something precious has vanished. Your job is to work out who did it, how they did it and why.

Every case works the same way. Tap the glowing spots in the scene to collect clues, then switch to the Talk tab to question the suspects. Choose what to ask, and show them the clues you found: lying suspects slip up when you present the right piece of evidence, and some answers unlock brand new clues. Review everything on the Clues tab, then use the Board to pick or rule out a suspect, a method and a motive. You get three accusations, so a wrong guess costs stars and score instead of ending the game. A hint token points you toward your next step, and your progress autosaves so you can continue a case later.

The cases get a little trickier as you go, and a seeded Daily Case builds a fresh parlor puzzle each day where you match footprints, ink smudges and snack wrappers to the one guest who fits every clue. Earn coins and XP, rank up, unlock outfits and buy upgrades. Tip: ruling out the innocent is often faster than hunting for the guilty, so mark suspects with an alibi as you go.

How to play

Search the scene by tapping glowing spots. On the Talk tab, ask questions and present evidence to each suspect. Read your findings on the Clues tab. On the Board, tap a card once to pick it and twice to rule it out, choose the culprit, method and motive, then press Accuse. You have three accusations per case.
