Players will examine suspect profiles and statements, track movements using a train map, decipher hidden messages, analyse interview notes, reconstruct a crime-scene photograph, crack a safe combination and match physical evidence before making their final accusation. Once they think the case is solved, there’s one last challenge: can they recover the missing diamond?
