The Daily Crime Scene

A crime scene game hands you the room after something happened. Daily Holmes's crime-scene cases do exactly that: a photograph, the traces of an event, and a question only the evidence can answer.

The scene formats ask for real forensic habits in miniature: what is out of place, what is missing, which of the marked regions holds the detail that breaks the story. Cases are built object by object so the scene can be read fairly; nothing depends on knowledge you do not have, only on noticing what is in front of you.

Crime scenes are one family of the fifteen formats, so the morning case is not always a crime. Some days you read a desk, a kitchen, a hotel room. The discipline is the same either way: the room remembers what happened in it, and the game grades how much of that memory you recovered.

You can try every format in five-second micro demos on the modes page, and the method behind this one is covered in daily murder mystery games.
