SOLVED EVERY CASE?
We recommend hanging the city map as a poster on the wall in your home. When you have guests visiting, you can play a quick case with them. If you continue to recommend our game to friends and family, with a little patience, there will be more cases and new cities appearing soon!
Until then, you can pass the time by finding and solving a few additional puzzles that are hidden across the city, for example:
VANISHED
Harry bought a book at the newspaper kiosk in the north of the city, after which he was never seen again. What happened to him?
Solution
An Exciting Book
It seems it must have been an unbelievably exciting story. Harry strolled across town without being able to take his eyes off the book. It happened in the south-west: Fixated reading, Harry didn't spot the open manhole cover and must have fallen into it. (The book washed through the sewage and into the harbour... He must be stuck in the drains somewhere.)
AN INVOLUNTARY BATH
A man was pushed into the water on the riverbank. Why was he pushed?
Solution
A Slight Overreaction
The man had gone for a spin in his little convertible. In the city centre, he got into an argument with a moped driver. He must have seriously angered the moped driver because he was chased across the city and pushed into the water from behind.
CONFIDENCE TRICK
Outside the riverside café, a man named Gerry Garbow turns to a police officer. His bag was stolen! Where are the perpetrators?
Solution
The Thieving Couple
It happened at the market square: Gerry was briefly distracted by a rose seller when the thief struck. The two obviously work together. He disappeared in an inconspicuous car, but their trail can be followed. She took the bus to the old watchtower. There the two accomplices met to share their spoils.
Baby Party
A mother has reported her baby missing! She was with the child at the hairdressers in the north of the city. A short time later near the nightclub, she noticed her baby had disappeared from the pram! What did it get up to on its journey?
Solution
A Day Full of Experiences
The mother met a friend in front of the health food store. The baby climbed out of the pram while the two were deep in conversation.
On its wondrous journey, the baby
• drank wine in the beer garden
• had coffee at the market
• stole cheese
• gave the cheese to a dog
• took the number 5 metro line
• got a balloon
• gave away the balloon
• got a sausage
• gave the sausage to a homeless person
• celebrated at the carnival party
After the baby had enough of its adventures, it took the bus to the watchtower and went home. There it met with its completely distraught mother, who of course felt a massive sense of relief at finally being reunited.
Perplexed cyclists
In Crime City, an unusually large number of bicycles have disappeared recently. Who is responsible and what is the villain’s trick?
Solution
Recycling cycles
Armed with a bolt cutter, Slyfox Knockback drove through the area and broke even the strongest locks. He then sold the bikes to unsuspecting people and stole them straight back again! You have to admit: This is far from law and order, but a pretty lucrative business model!
A Killer Hobby
A working day like any other is coming to an end. What does the killer from "Swamp of Conspiracy" do after completing his mission?
Solution
Table Tennis
After an exhausting but successful day at work, the killer went to the small park at the high line train station and met a friend for a game of after-work ping-pong. (Both play at district-league level and are currently applying for a team with the catchy name "Crime City Table Tennis and Ping Pong Club for a Fulfilled Leisure Time Away from Work").
Trigger Spider
Besides groomed cats, long-nosed dogs and costumed rabbits, there are also some smaller animals romping around the city. Where is the spider mentioned in the trigger warning?
Solution
In the southeast of the city
A little patch on the green area next to the Villa of art collector Adam Sandmann, between a tree and the poster for the football match, hasn’t been dusted in a long time. This is where the little spider has taken up residence and is waiting for juicy flies (or the odd homing pigeon).
In hot pursuit
of the party baby
The runaway baby from the case "Baby Party" is not only very autonomous, but also talented. What did it manage to do this time around?
Solution
A prize-worthy sandcastle
Armed only with a shovel and a soother, the baby has built a noble and impressively graceful sandcastle. What a composition! These smooth walls! Those delicate spires! We see a great sandbox career ahead for the baby!
The Jogger
The jogger who lives opposite the paint shop in the north-east has disappeared. What happened to her?
Solution
Deep Fall from Runner‘s High
Like every morning, Lilo went jogging. But this round was not only to be her fastest, but also her last for the time being. Deep in a running frenzy and with uplifting music on her ears, she just flew over the asphalt - overlooking the canal work. (We are sure that she is not only a good runner but also an excellent swimmer and will do the crawl on the rest of the way back through the canal).
Joe Banana‘s Masterpieces
Crime City’s underground art scene has been thrown into turmoil. A freshly spray-painted artwork by the up-and-coming street artist Joe Banana has been spotted at the punk club in the south of the city! Six more bananas have appeared ever since. Find all the bananas Joe has painted!
Solution
Seven a Day
After the memorable Tessy Tenessy concert, Joe didn’t take the direct route home: He left his first artwork outside at the backstage area of the punk club in the south and then moved on to ironically (or intentionally?) paint his trademark onto the property wall of the collector Heinrich Herrlich. But this wasn't his only message to the noble world of the fine arts: Further north, he acknowledged Leo Moustache’s poster with a dripping banana; the next target was the wall of Crime City Consulting. He then bananaised the glass front of the refuse collection service, only to leave another of his trademarks on the outside of the station while waiting for the high line train. After the ride, he painted a banana under the tracks at the industrial harbour and finally went home.
Boris is back!
Boris "the Philistine" Builder remains true to himself, still lacking even the slightest consideration. Whose day has he ruined this time around?
Solution
The Sandbox Baby’s
Incorrigible! In further pursuit of its promising sandbox career, the talented baby had set out to accomplish yet another architectural feat, but the philistine couldn’t care less. He simply took the shortest route with his Vespa - it didn‘t matter to him that it led right across the playground. Luckily, no one came to any harm! Only the sandcastle has to be rebuilt, of course ...
Non-Dangerous Hobby
The Wimmersberg family gardener admittedly doesn‘t look particularly happy at his work. What does he do in his spare time?
Solution
The Good Garden
Daniel Rosebud can‘t help himself: He has turned his hobby into a profession (or the other way around) and can do whatever he wants in his own four fences. In the allotment settlement in the west, far away from the Wimmersberg estate, things are a bit more cosy. Here, the dandelion is allowed to grow and the leaves have a permit to lie around for more than two hours. This is a garden much more to his taste!
