To do that, players have to gather clues, talk to witnesses, and scour evidence in a series of puzzles. To find what you need, you’ll engage in a careful matching game in which you’ll need to draw lines through matching tiles to get information from witnesses or find clues on the street – then you’ll need to apply what you’ve found to figuring out who your suspect is or where you can find a certain location. All the money you earn can go back into improving your office, buying power-ups and perks that can make you a more effective detective, and solving more cases.

Who’s it for? Fans of puzzlers and detective stories will find a lighthearted combination of both in Another Case Solved.
