How to play
- 01Explore. Fly into each suspect and location. Every tile is a piece of evidence: open it and read it all.
- 02Pin. Pin up to six cards to your notebook. You are looking for two that contradict each other.
- 03Hint. Stuck? A hint costs 100 points. Free players get one per case.
- 04Accuse. Choose the killer, the motive and the two cards that prove it. You get one shot.
The clock starts when you press Begin.
You have 20 minutes on WATSON, on real time: it keeps running even if you close the tab. Scoring: culprit 600, motive 200, each key card 100, minus hints and slow time after the first 5 minutes. If time runs out the trail goes cold: you can still accuse, off the record, for no score.
You have 20 minutes once you open the file.
