Press Start today's case on the title card, or open the Case book and pick a case. The bubble at the top tells you what happened.
Tap a villager to turn to them, then tap a topic to ask them about it. Their answer appears in the bubble.
Each new question takes one sip from your cup of cocoa. Asking the same villager the same thing again is free.
Notable answers pin a clue in your notebook, and some answers bring up a new topic to ask about. A line under the topics says how many are still to find.
When you know who did it, press I know who did it! Pick the villager, then up to three clues from your notebook that prove it, and press Reveal. If it was someone else, the case stays open and you can look again.
You earn one magnifying glass for naming who did it, one for showing every key clue, and one for a quick solve: 16 questions or fewer, no wrong guess and at least one key clue shown. When the cocoa runs out, it is time to decide.
While the typing option is on, you can also type a question for the villager you are facing. An AI reader only matches it to a topic, which can turn up one you have not found yet, and a question that fits no topic takes no cocoa.
Controls
