Halloween case
The Thirteenth Step#
Salem, 2025
Salem, the morning after Halloween. Meg Ashcombe, the last of her family, lies at the foot of her grand staircase, one slipper on the thirteenth step, the front door bolted from inside. Half the town says the Grey Captain finally took her.
Four suspects. One of them lies.

Catch the lie, then report#
Hold a clue against a statement. When the lie cracks, write your report: three tries, not one more.
A world tour to learn. Then the real cases.#
Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Marrakech, Tokyo, Sydney: five training levels, each harder than the last. Then come the real cases, harder still. Each one shows how many investigators have solved it. For most of them: nobody. Not yet.
