Criminal Cases

Criminal Cases is a game where you find objects that appear on the screen. Criminal Cases was released in November of 2016 and is in Version 3.4. You can now play it on Kongregate!

v3.0 is here!
Version 3.0 of Criminal Cases was originally going to be an entire rework of the game, and not come out until November 2020 or later, but that update will be pushed off to v4.0. Instead, v3.0 is here now, on June 24. It features the largest bug fix since the launch of the game, fixing both major and minor errors, some of which have been occurring since v1.0. It was also include a much needed visual update of many of the menus as well as adding an event menu, a page that showcases all the events at once. Though level 5 is not confirmed to come out in this update, there will be at least one brand new event to play.

Campaign
The Campaign is the normal game mode that you will go through, being a detective and working on Old Man Murphy's case. There is only three levels in the campaign so far.

Level One
This level was released with the launch of the game. You are a detective on your first ever case! You are investigating a missing person. The missing person, Old Man Murphy, has vanished without a trace. It is your job to find him. You start in his bedroom. You don't find much, but you do find something. You'll have to play to find out what!

Level Two
You track broken glass to the mansion's massive indoor library. Once there you must search the stairs, walls, and shelves to find anything that could get you closer to finding the whereabouts of Old Man Murphy. On the wall, you find something very peculiar. Play to find out what!

Level Three
Level Three was released on November 24, 2018, the two-year anniversary of the game. After pressing an odd button in the library, a door opens up into a slim hallway. To your great surprise, the door slams behind you, rendering you stuck! You must examine the hallway and search for where you are as you make your way to an opening that will lead you somewhere unexpected. Play to find out what!

Level Four
Level Four was released on November 24, 2019, the three-year anniversary of the game. As you continue down the hallway, you come to an old attic room. From a mannequin behind the mirror to scratch marks on the wall, the place is creepy. As you continue your search, you find strange footsteps leading somewhere strange. Play to find out where!

Events
The Events mode was added in the 2.0 update for Criminal Cases, celebrating the one-year anniversary of Criminal Cases. Events last for around a month, sometimes more, and you can play them as much as you like. There have been two events in the game so far, Birthday and Christmas events. The Summer event will arrive in the 3.0 update. Two future events have been announced, the Easter Event starting in March and the Halloween Event starting in October. There are three more untitled events that will be released within the next several updates.
