Study a crime scene: as you uncover clues, you’ll learn basic crime lab skills and key intelligence gathering techniques.
A group of friends. A dog. A shared meal, and a murder? The body’s gone missing, and it’s up to you to unravel the accusations and alibis. Study the crime scene: as you uncover clues that have been left behind, you’ll learn basic crime lab skills and key intelligence-gathering techniques. Analyze fingerprints, debris, and paint splatter to determine how the criminals moved through the space. Track and examine the handwriting in a secret diary to see if you can figure out who wrote it, and use footprints and tracks to establish a timeline for the crime. To collect every shred of evidence, you’ll interrogate suspects, determine motives, and gather (and check) alibis to see who’s telling the truth — and who has motive not to. This case is not for the squeamish. As both detective and forensic scientist, are you ready to catch the criminals before they strike again?
