With a 3D crime scene and a deck full of clues, you'll need to work together to share information, discard false leads, and deduce the solution to the case. Each card has a value from 1 to 10, and you can only reveal a card if its value is less than or equal to the number of cards already discarded – adding a strategic layer to the investigation. At the end, you answer questions about the case, and each correct answer scores points. The more points, the better your team's outcome.
