Follow the evidence.
Prove your theory.
Examine the same material a detective would — incident reports, surveillance, message threads, interviews, forensic summaries, financial records — and close the file by proving what happened, not by picking a name.

Everything an investigation actually runs on.
Each case is assembled from realistic, self-consistent records. Evidence IDs match across every screen, people link to the exhibits that mention them, and exhibits link back to the minutes they belong to on the timeline.

Surveillance
Camera stills, access logs, recovered segments
Messages & calls
Threads, call detail records, voicemail
Interviews
Full recorded transcripts with six persons of interest
Forensics

Case archive
Featured cases
New cases are released with a full evidence set, six or more persons of interest, and a solution that holds up to scrutiny.
Fictional investigation
The Hawthorne Files
An unanswered absence. A circle of relationships. A case to examine.
Suspicious Death / Maritime
The Corran Harbour Manifest
A container that cleared customs twice, and a night watchman who never signed out.
Cold Case / Financial Crimes
The Ashfield Bequest
A donated archive, a missing codicil, and a death ruled natural for nineteen years.
How it works
Three steps, one standard of proof.
01
Open Case
Create a free account, open a case and enter the investigator dashboard. Your file loads with the first wave of evidence already logged and the rest waiting to be found.
02
Investigate
Read the documents. Watch the timeline tighten. Pin what matters, annotate what doesn't fit, and follow a name from a message thread into a bank ledger.
03
Prove It
Name who, how, why and when — then attach the evidence that carries it. A theory without exhibits is a guess, and the file will tell you so.
