How to play

Read the first clue and pick a suspect. A wrong pick rules that card out and brings the next clue. Five solved cases finish a level.

Levels

  1. Level 1Well-known elements.
  2. Level 2More elements, closer clues.
  3. Level 3The trickiest suspects.

A tip for parents

Look at labels at home together: which elements can you find in salt, water or a battery?

Works on phones, tablets and computers, with nothing to install. No ads and no tracking.
