## What is Daily Sleuth?

Every morning, a new case file lands on your desk in Caldmere — a fog-draped coastal New England town where everyone has something to hide. Theft, fraud, assault, arson, a body in the harbor. The crime changes. The pressure doesn't.

Daily Sleuth is a two-minute daily ritual for true crime fans and puzzle lovers who want something sharper than a word game and moodier than a crossword.

HOW IT WORKS
Read today's case file — a short narrative with suspects, evidence, and a scene. Then make your accusation: Who did it. What they did. Where the evidence is hiding. Three questions, three suspects, one truth. Read closely — the file tells you everything you need, if you're paying attention.

CLUES, IF YOU NEED THEM
Stuck? Pull a clue. You have up to five — but every clue you use chips away at your score. The best detectives close the case clean.

A NEW CASE EVERY DAY
One case, every day, set in Caldmere. The difficulty climbs through the week — Monday is a gentle warm-up, Saturday is a proper noir gut-punch. Come back tomorrow for a fresh file.

BUILD YOUR STREAK
Solve the daily case and build your streak. The habit is the hook — miss a day and you start over.

THE CALDMERE UNIVERSE
Every case is set in Caldmere, a small town with a long memory. Recurring suspects, tangled histories, secrets that connect across cases. The more you play, the more you notice. Daily Sleuth is part of the Penumbra universe of mystery games.

DESIGNED THE RIGHT WAY
- One case a day — no endless scroll, no energy timers
- No ads in the daily experience
- Dark and light mode
- A real mystery, written to be solved

Read the file. Name the culprit. Close the case. Can you solve today's case?
