Our Tips for Winning
-
Take the time to analyze every clue
Even if a riddle seems simple at first glance, some details can be essential for what follows. Carefully reread the information provided and do not neglect any clues, as some may be useful several days later.

Keep track of your discoveries
The game unfolds over several days, which can make some information difficult to remember. Note down your hypotheses, suspects, or key elements to build a comprehensive view of the investigation and avoid forgetting details.

Vary the way you think
Riddles are not based solely on classical logic. Some require manipulation, different observation, or creativity. Adopting a flexible approach will allow you to solve challenges more easily.
