Frequently asked questions
Is this just a PDF?
No.
Each case is structured like a real investigation file. Evidence is layered, organised and designed specifically for screen-based play. It’s built for immersion — not casual reading.
How long does a case take to solve?
Full case files typically take 60–120 minutes, depending on how carefully you analyse the evidence.
Do I need to print anything?
No printing required.
All cases are designed to be played digitally on your device.
What devices can I play on?
Secret Detective works seamlessly on:
- Desktop
- Laptop
- Tablet
- Mobile
No downloads. No apps. Instant access after purchase.
Is this a multiplayer game?
It can be.
You can play:
- Solo
- With a partner
- With friends
- As a group challenge
One person can share their screen if playing together. We are happy for you to share the game link with your partner or family so they can each view the case file on their own device.
Is there guessing involved?
No.
Every case is built around logical deduction. The solution is always supported by evidence within the file.
If you miss it, it’s because you overlooked something — not because the answer was random.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes.
You don’t need any prior knowledge of law or forensics. All necessary information is included within the case file.
What if I don’t enjoy it?
We stand behind every case.
If you’re genuinely disappointed, contact us within 7 days and we’ll make it right.
Is this suitable for children?
Secret Detective cases are designed for adults and mature teens. Themes may include realistic crime elements.
Can I replay the case?
Once solved, the outcome won’t change — but many players revisit cases to see what clues they missed.
Are new cases released regularly?
Yes.
New investigations and shorter mini cases are released throughout the year.
