Ham Detective
Read full descriptionHide full description
Before he became a ham, he was a little-known detective. But he never let a contradiction slide. He is still a detective. The only difference is that his face is now a piece of smoked ham. Ham Detective is a story-driven mystery game that combines travel, detective fiction, and logic grid puzzles. Board a steam train and journey through a series of strange countries, each governed by its own unusual rules. In one country, everything must be perfectly symmetrical. In another, belongings left unclaimed for too long no longer belong to their original owners. Some people measure a person's worth with a score. Others believe that if something can still be repaired, it should never be thrown away. And at every stop, a new case is waiting for Ham Detective. This is not about guessing the answer. It is about eliminating what cannot be true. Read character traits, item details, physical evidence, and witness statements. Mark what is possible and impossible on a 3x3 logic grid until only one solution remains. Sometimes, only the culprit is lying. Sometimes, everyone is telling the truth, yet they still identify the wrong person. And sometimes, a scratch said to be sixty-three years old only appeared yesterday. Every country has its own rules, bringing new twists and different ways to reason through each case. If you enjoy logic grid puzzles, detective stories, mysteries, and cases that leave you thinking even after they are solved, welcome aboard. Next stop. Someone has made a mess of things again. There is only one truth. The detective is a ham.
