A look inside

The Sapphire has vanished, and a sealed envelope names who took it, where, and with what. Everyone holds a few of the cards. On your turn, suggest a suspect, a place and an object. The next player who holds one of them must secretly show you a card. Eliminate cards, read who passed, and accuse once you are sure. One accusation per game: get it right and you win.

DETECTIVE WORK, NOT LUCK

  • A notebook with auto-notes marks what you already know.
  • See who was asked, who passed and who showed a card.

PLAY ANY WAY YOU LIKE

  • Three to six players, live or turn-based over a day. Two friends play with a bot as the third seat.
  • Several phones at the same table: play in person, no internet needed.
  • Practice against bots, from Trainee to Chief.
  • The Daily Case: three witnesses, one Sapphire, the same case for everyone, every day. Keep your streak and share your result.

FRIENDLY BY DESIGN

  • Hand-cut linocut art in three inks, with no ads and no tracking.
  • No chat with strangers, just a few emotes. Report and block are one tap away.
  • In English, Swedish, French, Spanish and Arabic.

New here? A one-minute practice round teaches you everything.

  • Every past Daily Case, for the days you missed.
  • Chief, the toughest bot.
