Pocket Detective is a single-player logic game about catching liars. Study the case file, interrogate suspects, test their statements against the rules of their claimed roles, and arrest every criminal. Witnesses tell the truth. Criminals lie while posing as witnesses. Bystanders are not criminals, but they can still disrupt the investigation. Each of 40 roles brings its own information, passive effect, or ability. The answer is on the board. You just have to prove it. • Academy: Learn the rules step by step across more than 30 handcrafted cases. New roles and mechanics are introduced as you progress. • Career: Solve as many cases as possible before your three lives run out. Build your score and compete on the Game Center leaderboard. • Daily Case: Everyone receives the same new investigation each day. • Custom Case: Choose the suspects, criminals, and role sets yourself, or enter a Case Number to replay a known investigation. • Track your record: Review detailed statistics, compare your performance across roles and modes, and earn Game Center achievements. • Play offline: Case generation and gameplay work without an internet connection. Pocket Detective is designed exclusively for iPhone and iPad. Download free and play Academy Tier 1. Complete it to unlock Career, Daily Case, and Custom Case with a starter set of roles. A small one-time Full Game purchase unlocks Academy Tiers 2 through 5, and all 40 roles. There are no subscriptions or consumable purchases.
