Whose file is this?

Two files have been mixed into one. Six clues, six names, and only two of the names belong in the file.

Name the pair. Read the clues and pick the two people, places or things they describe. One clue you recognise is all the foothold you need.

Sort the clues. File each clue under one name, the other, or Both. The clue that turns out to be true of both is the double take.

Every day

  • Two cases and a finale that bends one rule, different each day of the week: a red herring among the clues, a blind sort, the Chief's hunch or a torn file.
  • No timer. Each case starts with a bounty of 1,000, and only a wrong check or an extra clue knocks it down.
  • A fact sheet after every case, with the reason and the source for each clue.
  • See how your score compares with everyone else who played today.

Between cases

  • Standings for today, the week and your friends, and a crowd card on every case: who named it first try, and how your bounty compares.
  • Challenge a friend to beat your score on the same file.
  • Four Daily Challenges, a streak to keep, and twenty achievements.
  • The Archive: the last seven days and the cold cases, free.
  • A Store of desks, stamps, clue cards and colours to make the file your own, and a Case Book of every pair you've closed.

Where to play

Made for a phone held upright. On a PC it plays in landscape, the file laid on your desk, with the mouse. Tablets work too, best held upright.

Languages

Menus, rules and results are in twelve languages. The cases themselves (the clues and fact sheets) are in English.
