Welcome, JJ! As a junior private investigator, you investigate art theft and forgery cases for a PI agency. Every day, your boss assigns you a new case.

Gather evidence, explore mysteries, and help your boss solve her cases!

To work on your case, you need to:

1. Find leads to witnesses in your notebook. Call and ask them questions on the telephone.
   • Every time you complete a phone call, the clock advances by half-an-hour. Your work day ends at 5:00, so plan your time carefully.
   • You may only ask each witness one question, so you’ll have to choose what to ask.
   • Mike, your co-worker, can also call witnesses and ask questions for you. You can give a lead to him instead of making the call yourself.
   • Phone calls may result in documents that can be used as evidence for your final report.
   • Flip between pages of your notebook by clicking the arrows at the bottom.
2. Retrieve faxes and witness statements from the mailroom.
   • Scrutinize each document and select the best conjecture based on the evidence it contains.
   • Documents may point to more witnesses and clues. Check your notebook for any new leads.
   • Change your interpretation at any time by picking up the document again.
   • Carry documents between rooms for filing, faxing, or shredding.
3. File relevant documents in the evidence folder on your desk.
   • Documents in your folder will be included with your final report.
   • Keep the documents you want, and shred documents to get rid of them forever.
4. Complete your report at the end of the day by selecting your final deductions.
   • You cannot send faxes at the end of the day.
   • You can review your documents and change your conjectures while preparing your final report.
   • The success of your final report depends on the amount of evidence you include and the accuracy of your conjectures and deductions.

Three of our nation’s biggest museums were robbed last week! The Smithsonian lost a diamond necklace, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (a.k.a. “the Met”) lost an Egyptian sculpture, and the Art Institute of Chicago lost a Monet. Everyone in the agency is buzzing.
