Updated 29 September 2026
In the works
Being built now.
Holmes on your reading
For members, a personal note from Holmes after every case: what you saw, what you missed, and one habit to work on.
The Sunday edition
On Sundays the morning mail carries the week at the Bureau: every case, the room’s median and the sharpest readers.
A new front door
The home page, redrawn so today’s case and your own record read at a glance.
A clearer membership page
What Inspectors get and what it costs, readable on a phone without the long scroll.
Next
Decided, and coming after that.
More languages
The Bureau reads in English today. Vote below for the language it learns next.
More cases with people in the frame
Photographs where someone stands in the scene, and what they carry tells you where they have been.
Poll · Open
Which language should the Bureau learn next?
One vote for each reader, and you can change it while the poll is open. The count shows once you have voted.
Considering
Not decided. Tell us in the suggestion box below.
A harder case once a week?
One case each week that takes longer than three minutes. Would you make time for it?
Read a case with a friend?
Two detectives, one photograph, and the two readings side by side at the end.
A case against the clock?
The same photograph with a timer running, for readers who like the pressure.
The Bureau on your home screen?
Today’s case one tap from your phone’s home screen, with a reminder at the hour you choose.
Shipped
What is already in the Bureau, newest first.
September 2026
Open October
From 1 October to 1 November every account holds Inspector membership at no cost, and an account opened in October gets it too.
The morning mail, with yesterday’s line
One mail each morning: the new case, and for anyone who filed the day before, a line on how that reading went.
Holmes Explains on the Training page
Short films on how Holmes reads a scene, waiting in the Watch block of the Training page.
Ranks from your last ten daily cases
Your rank follows your form over your last ten daily cases, and each rank carries its own Paget portrait.
Standings
A board of the Bureau’s best readers: form over ten daily cases, and a board for this week.
What the room saw
Once you file, see which clues the room found and which it walked straight past.
Inspector membership
Every case on file any morning, a Streak Shield for the busy days, dictation and a report on how you read.
Speak your reading
Dictate your deduction instead of typing it; your first cases are free to try it on.
One more case
After you file, the Bureau offers one more case from the archive, chosen to suit how you just read.
August 2026
Fifteen formats, four families
Some mornings you write your deduction; on others you mark the scene, match the pairs, put events in order or catch the lie.
July 2026
The archive
Every past case in one place, by date and by family, with a few free each month.
The Common Room
Read how other detectives read the same photograph, and tip your hat to the reading you wish you had written.
The Clue Museum
Tap any object in a training scene to see what a detective reads there, and why.
May 2026
Investigator’s pins
Drop a pin on anything in the photograph and note what it tells you; your pins travel with your reading.
Cases with more than one photograph
A case can hold up to four photographs, one swipe apart.

What should the Bureau add, or take away? Every note is read.
