Language Detective is an interaction- and deduction-based criminal-drama-style game, where players need to communicate with each other, coordinate their activities, understand the narrative, and complete language learning exercises to solve criminal mysteries. Language Detective can be played solo, but it is a great team-building application for up to 3 players that helps users develop and train their soft skills such as communication, reading comprehension, deduction, critical thinking, note-taking, and resource management. All done in an exciting environment of investigating a crime. The goal of the game is not only to determine whodunit, but also to introduce players to concepts and vocabulary in the language they wish to learn, and provide them opportunities to read, write, and converse about useful topics, that will inevitably allow them to expand their language skills in a fun and informal environment.
