Why make your own

• Your people

  Paste your class list and everyone gets a face you can still adjust: hair, glasses, cap, hijab.

• Your building

  Describe where the rooms are and the floor plan gets drawn, or drag the walls yourself until it matches your corridor.

• Your pace

  From gentle to devious. Every case has exactly one answer, and that is checked before you print it.

What you get out

A case is not finished while it only exists on this screen. Everything below comes out of the same case.

• An A4 worksheet, ready for the copier
• An A3 poster for the wall
• A PowerPoint with real text, not a screenshot
• A booklet of ten cases, ramping up in difficulty
• The floor plan as its own image
• A card per suspect, to cut out
• A QR code for the whiteboard
• A link that carries the whole case inside it

In three steps

1. 1

   Who was there

   Paste the names. Adjust the faces until they look right.

2. 2

   Where it happened

   Describe the place or draw it yourself, then put the furniture in.

3. 3

   Lay the body down

   The clues follow on their own. Print it or share it.
