Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the game is straightforward: simply empty the contents of the case file onto a workspace with good lighting. No special equipment is required, though having a notepad and pen nearby for sketching out connections is highly recommended. Because the game relies heavily on paper documents, keep them away from food and drinks to avoid damaging the evidence. When you are finished, ensure all pieces are returned to the envelope to keep the game in pristine condition if you plan on gifting it to another detective after completion.
