About Exhibit A: Phone Detective
Someone else’s phone is sitting on your desk. Every message, photo, and bank statement is a piece of evidence—if you can find it. But sloppy detectives lose cases: submit the wrong item, and the prosecution will throw it out. Lose your seals, and the file is ruined.
A "found-phone" mystery where deduction has consequences.
📁 THREE MODES — 15 FULL CASES + A HIDDEN SIXTEENTH
🕵️ TRUE CRIME — A missing courier. A "suicide" at the waterfront villa. A nurse racing against the clock. An apprentice framed for the crime. A farewell message the owner never wrote.
🕯️ HORROR — Some numbers are never disconnected. A locked room, bolted from the inside. A man who wakes up at 3:33 every night. A stream that stays LIVE after it ends. A mirror that reflects a second too late. And the number itself.
💔 INFIDELITY — A private office, suspicious spouses, phone backups on your desk. But not every secret is a betrayal—sometimes the evidence clears a name. Follow the records, not your feelings.
🧩 HOW TO INVESTIGATE
- Search the phone: messages, calls, gallery, notes, banking, social media—plus bait apps designed to trap you
- Recover deleted messages and crack PIN-locked hidden albums
- Pin evidence to the corkboard and connect the dots with red string
- Pick apart the suspect's statements during interrogation
- Reconstruct the events of that night on the timeline
- Then name the truth—and stamp the file
⚖️ THE RISK SYSTEM
Anything can be submitted as evidence. Only the right items should be. Each incorrect submission costs a seal—run out, and the case is dismissed.
🗓 Case of the Day — a new deduction puzzle every day with streak rewards
🏆 Ranks, badges, and a detective profile showing your success rate
🗞 Every solved case becomes a newspaper clipping in your archive
💀 Three difficulty levels — including Ironman: one mistake wipes the file
📴 Fully playable offline • No energy system
