YOU ARE THE DETECTIVE!
Join Lieutenant Falco Costanzo of the Los Angeles Police Department and pit your wits against high-society murderers in fun, challenging solve-it-yourself mysteries!
- Hollywood Ending (easy, 10 pages). A mansion in the hills. A movie tycoon, dead in his study. Three suspects, each with a motive to kill. You be the judge - who is the murderer?
- The Silent Siren (medium challenge, 18 pages). Mysterious man-of-the-world Club Phillips has been found slumped over the helm of his beautiful sailing yacht, the Siren's Call, a strange silver key gripped tightly in his hand. The suspects are a motley crew - can you track down the killer?
- Rogues' Gallery (hard, 42 pages). Passions run deep in the heady, high-stakes art world. LA gallery owner Rosetta Arnette has been poisoned in her own art warehouse. A perplexing array of cryptic clues reveals a complex web of intrigue, deceit, and corruption - can you untangle it to reveal the guilty suspect?
- Mind Games (fiendish difficulty, 88 pages). The Applied Psychology Innovations Institute, a shadowy government contractor running experiments on the human mind for the military, jealously guards its secrets. When its head of Research & Development is found dead at the center of the Human Behavioral Labyrinth, with no way for a killer to enter or leave, powerful forces align to protect the Institute... Will you be just another mouse in the maze - or will you defeat them with logic and deduction, and solve this baffling case?
Puzzle Detective cases are REAL mysteries. That means you have to be a REAL detective: read the stories, examine evidence, interview suspects, solve puzzles, crack codes, use forensic analysis - just like a real-life investigation. So much more than simple logic puzzles, these immersive, entertaining, humorous cases will give you hours of head-scratching, mind-exercising, sleuthing fun!
- Big, full-size 8.5 x 11 format means large, clear text and plenty of space - no more squinting at small print.
- Ideal for vacations, road trips, or any time you just want to take a relaxing break from screen time.
- Readers of all ages can benefit from training analytical skills to improve mental agility and reading comprehension.
- Solve solo, or with friends and family. A great way to get older kids and teens thinking logically!
An important message for Murdlers:
You may be familiar with crime-themed logic puzzles like Murdle. Those puzzles are designed so you can infer negatives. For example, if Suspect X is connected to the candlestick, Suspect Y cannot be connected to the candlestick. But that isn't how investigations work in real life, so Puzzle Detective is different: multiple suspects can be connected to the same element. Puzzle Detective cases are immersive mysteries. Solving them requires not only logic but also insightful deduction - just like in a classic detective story!
