Pocket Detective

A violin has vanished from a train locker. The show cake vanished before judging. Someone took the bike from the station rack. Three or four suspects, each with their own story, and a pile of paper: door logs, receipts, train timetables, floor plans, photos, notices on the door.

Read the statements, open the evidence and compare times and places. Pin what matters to your board and link what backs each other up. Write your own notes. When you are sure, accuse: pick the culprit and the evidence that proves it. Get it wrong and the game shows which evidence clears that suspect, and you go back to the case.

Every case has been checked by a program: everything you need is in the evidence, there is exactly one answer and no guessing.
