What is Daily Detective?

Daily Detective is a daily murder-mystery game in which a single case is released each day. Players read a briefing, interrogate suspects and examine evidence, then must identify the killer, the weapon, and the motive before running out of a limited number of moves.

How to play

  1. Read the case briefing to learn about the victim, scene, and persons of interest.
  2. Interrogate suspects (use quick-question buttons or type your own) and examine evidence; each interrogation or examination uses one move and is saved to the Notes tab.
  3. When confident, make your accusation by selecting the killer, the weapon, and the motive (you get one chance).

Why play Daily Detective?

Play to solve a new murder mystery every day while tracking your detective stats and building a solving streak. The shared daily case lets you compare results with others and test deduction skills under a moves limit.

Reading the feedback

The UI displays a Moves counter (e.g., 0/10) and a Hints counter, and the rules state each interrogation or evidence examination uses one move. All interrogations are saved to a Notes tab. A Statistics area tracks cases solved, attempts, success rate, streaks, and time per case.

Tips & strategy

  • Compare suspect alibis closely: the help text emphasizes inconsistent stories as key evidence.
  • Use the Notes tab to review saved interrogations and evidence findings to spot contradictions.
  • Conserve moves and use hints judiciously; each interrogation or evidence check consumes one move and hints are limited.
