The case
Here's the situation
On the night of the Ridgemont Museum's 100th-anniversary gala, someone swapped the famous Blue Comet Sapphire for a flawless replica. The museum was locked. The alarms stayed quiet. Whoever did it had a key card, a plan, and a head start.
Your detective joins the Ridgemont Police Department's Detective Bureau with a real credential card and a login to the department's records computer. Evidence arrives by mail in sealed bags. Badge logs, security-camera stills, interviews and lab reports wait on screen. Every week brings one question to answer, and every answer has to be proven.
Spoiler-free: everything on this page is safe for your detective to read.

Where the investigation happens
A dark, official records terminal: badge logs, the camera archive, interviews, the lab and the warrant desk. Each week's report is checked the moment it's filed.
Questions about this case
Read all questions →How hard is it?
It is a real investigation for confident readers aged about 9 to 13. Each week asks one clear question. If a report misses, the computer says what to look at again, and the parent view has a ladder of hints that stop short of the answer.
How much screen time is involved?
Most weeks take two to three sessions of 30 to 45 minutes, split between handling the physical evidence and searching the records computer. Nothing runs on a timer.
Can siblings play together?
Yes. One kit comes with one detective login, and it works well for two or three kids investigating together. Buy a second kit if each child wants their own credential and progress.
Is anything scary?
No. It is a jewel theft with no violence and no one gets hurt. The tone is a calm, official police file.
Do we need anything that isn't in the box?
A phone, tablet or computer with a web browser, a pencil, and somewhere safe to keep the evidence. The UV light and forensics items are included.
