Clue Hunter

Clue Hunter drops you into a series of detective cases where your sharp eyes and logical mind are your best tools. Each scenario presents a richly detailed scene, hiding a web of evidence that you must uncover by clicking on suspicious items. But finding clues is only the beginning—you then need to connect those clues through clever puzzles and reasoning to deduce who, what, and why, before the case file grows cold. As you progress, the mysteries become more elaborate, demanding a keener attention to detail and a more strategic approach to evidence linking. Certain clues only appear after you've identified others, and some connections are subtle, rewarding players who think laterally. With a mix of observation, pattern recognition, and logical deduction, Clue Hunter keeps your brain engaged from one case to the next, offering a satisfying challenge for puzzle lovers and aspiring sleuths alike.

What is Clue Hunter

Put your detective hat on and start solving! Clue Hunter invites you to examine each scene, find the hidden clues, and piece together the story.

How to Play

Click or tap on objects in the scene to pick them up as clues. Once you have collected them, drag or select clues to link them together based on logical connections, and use the resulting conclusions to answer the case's core question.

Tips for Playing

Scan every corner of the scene before moving on, as clues can be tucked away in plain sight.
Think about how each clue might relate to the others—connections can be subtle but always logical.
If you're stuck, try approaching the evidence from a different angle or revisiting a clue you overlooked.
Don't rush; time isn't always a factor, so careful observation beats quick guesses.
Note any patterns or discrepancies in the environment; they often hint at the solution.
