The Locker Key

The laundromat on The Strip runs all night, which is why nobody thought twice when the lights stayed on past three. Then the brother came by to swap the till bag and found his sister on the floor of the back room, the quarters untouched, and one key gone off the pegboard where she kept half the block's spare sets. Police wrote it up as a fall. The brother doesn't buy it. He does her books, he knows the CCTV app better than she did, and he says the last hour of footage didn't glitch, it got deleted, and he wants to know whose hands did it. We took the case for cab fare and a promise. The Strip is short. Everybody on it owes somebody, and at least one of them owed her.

★ — 1-star case: an evening's work, one gate, few wrong turns.

One purchase, three attempts. A started team is an attempt. Only your first attempt lands on the leaderboard.

Team size sets the difficulty. Pick 1–4 detectives; it locks when the case starts. Bigger teams get more branches, another gate and extra questions.

Teammates need no account. Share the join code or the link; up to three guests can sit at the table. Only the leader starts, pauses and submits.

Score. Right answers first, then fewer rides, then time. Going back to a place you have seen is free; a wrong gate code costs a ride.
