Your briefing

Confidential File Nº 001 — London

Hello, Detective X.
Thank goodness you're finally here.

Intelligence just delivered a stack of case files: hidden among this city's most famous places are ten clues nobody has managed to crack. The client will only trust one person — the detective who, legend has it, can make an entire city talk with nothing but a magnifying glass.

Take the case, and your trip stops being a checklist. Every landmark becomes a scene; every arrival becomes evidence. Collect all ten clues, and the case is closed.

P.S. This briefing will self-destruct after reading. Kidding — but it really is confidential.

The mission

How to crack your first case

Four steps, from picking up the file to pinning on the badge.

  1. 01

    Open the case file

    Pick your destination city to unlock its case. Every case holds ten clues, all hidden at public, well-known landmarks.

  2. 02

    Follow the clues

    Let the hints steer you through the city. Clues lead to the corners most tourists walk right past without ever seeing.

  3. 03

    Photograph the evidence

    Find the target and capture it in the app. Once the photo checks out, the clue is filed into your case.

  4. 04

    Close the case

    All ten clues collected — case closed. We craft your exclusive DetectiveX detective badge and mail it straight to you.

A real badge, really mailed: every closed case deserves a medal you can hold.

FAQ

The interrogation room: you ask, we answer

How does the story pricing work?

Per city. Each city is its own case: buy that city's Weekly Pass to unlock all of its clues and investigate whenever you like for seven days.

What if I don't finish within the week?

Your case file is never lost. We seal your investigation record exactly as you left it; activate a Weekly Pass on your next visit and the archive unseals, picking up from the very clue where you stopped.

Why did you build DetectiveX?

Because travel shouldn't be a cookie-cutter checklist. We want you to actually play: the same landmark feels completely different when you're a detective collecting evidence instead of a tourist queueing for a photo.

Is this real detective or spy activity?

No. DetectiveX is pure entertainment. Every clue location is a public, well-known attraction, and nothing in the game involves real investigation, espionage or any sensitive activity. Local laws always come first — using the app for anything illegal is strictly forbidden.

Is the badge real?

It's a physical badge. When you close a case we craft that city's limited DetectiveX detective badge and mail it to you — possibly the most hardcore travel souvenir there is.
