Summary:

Step behind the tape and get ready to join the forensic team as you examine 25 crime scenes. Solve 100 puzzles and piece together the clues to crack the case.

An investigation has been launched and you’re in charge of examining the evidence on scene. As you work with the forensic team to build the case and sift through the clues, you’ll be tasked with working out three key factors: Who, What and Why?

With 25 investigations to solve, featuring linked puzzles within each scenario, these are puzzles to put your problem-solving and critical thinking skills to the test. Let the evidence speak for itself as you work your way through a wide range of forensic techniques, such as toxicology reports, genetic fingerprinting and DNA analysis.

Featuring logic, lateral and visual puzzles, as well as codes to decipher, evidence to be analyzed and more, these are casefiles for the most observant of investigators. And remember, the clues are in plain sight if you just know how to spot them. There is no such thing as the perfect crime ...
