Case File 01 · Difficulty: Medium

THE EMPTY APARTMENT

A $1,650 apartment, 20% below market. The landlord is "abroad." The deposit is due today. The photos are beautiful — because they're stolen.

THE GRANT

A nonprofit just "won" $50,000. All they have to do is pay $1,200 first. The letterhead is perfect. So is the con.

THE CHECK

A $3,900 cashier's check arrives with a dream gig: deposit it, keep $800, wire back $3,100. The money shows up tomorrow. It vanishes next week.

THE TASK APP

A part-time gig that pays real money — $86 straight to her account. Then comes the VIP combo: top up $500 to "unlock" $900. The payout was the bait.

How a case works
  1. Open the evidence locker. Review at least 4 of 6 exhibits — every tell you need is in there.
  2. Question the suspects. Three people, three questions each. Their answers are on the record.
  3. Make the accusation. Three questions, one point each: what happened, who did it, and the safest move.
  4. Get your verdict. Scored out of 3, with a shareable result card. Record your confidence before the reveal — like the book says.
