## What is Third Degree?

A murder. Three suspects. Twelve questions. One of them is lying to your
face, and nobody is going to tell you which.

Third Degree is a detective game you play with your own words. There are no
dialogue trees and no multiple choice. You type what you want to ask, and
the suspect answers - evasively, defensively, in character. Ask the right
question and they contradict themselves. Ask the wrong one and you have
burned a question you needed.

A new case every day. Free, in full, always.

THE DAILY CASE

Every day brings a fresh murder with a fresh cast. Read the file, work out
who to lean on, and start asking.

• Question three suspects in plain English
• Present evidence to their face and watch the story change
• Press, challenge, or show a little sympathy - each gets you somewhere
  different
• Catch a contradiction and it goes on the record permanently

Then make the arrest. You will need a proof chain, not a hunch: WHO did it,
WHY they did it, and the exhibit that proves it. Get the person right but
the story wrong and the conviction will not hold.

You are graded one to three stars, with a full report afterwards: the true
timeline, every lie you caught, every lie you missed, and exactly where your
points came from.

SUNDAY IS THE BIG CASE

Four suspects. Maximum difficulty. Its own leaderboard.

COFFEE CASES

Two self-contained mysteries with no daily timer and no streak on the line.
They run entirely on your device, so they work on a plane, on the subway, or
anywhere with no signal at all.

STREAKS AND LEADERBOARDS

Show up daily and the flame keeps burning -  win or lose, playing is what
counts. Miss a night and a banked freeze can save the run.

Compete on today's board, this week's, and the Big Case board, globally or
against friends. You pick a detective codename; your real name never appears
anywhere.

THIRD DEGREE PRO

Today's case is free forever. Pro is for detectives who want to keep going
after it is closed.

• Four more Coffee Cases, on top of the two everyone gets
• Replay any case from the last 30 days and work it properly
• Bank up to four streak freezes instead of two
• Browse and search a full 30 days of cases, grouped by month

Archive replays are practice runs - fully graded, but they never affect your
points, your streak, or the leaderboards.
