How Players Solve Mysteries

Players worldwide investigate clock tower murders by manipulating time itself. The brass dial at the tower's heart lets you rewind from hour VI to hour XI, revealing where suspects stood throughout the fatal evening. Each rotation costs precious winding keys, so the community shares strategies for efficient searches.

Your investigation spans six floors, from the deadly belfry where the Alderman fell to the shadowy office at ground level. Fellow detectives recommend searching the watchmaker's workshop first for tool marks, then comparing gallery visitor logs with coal room access times. Physical evidence like cigar ash and glove fibers becomes crucial when confronting suspects.

The player community has developed collective wisdom around arrest strategy. You get exactly two attempts per case, so coordinating who wielded which weapon at what hour requires careful deduction. Veterans suggest using the evidence board to track patterns across all twelve suspects before making your accusation.

Time Manipulation Dial

Progressive Rank System

Fellow sleuths debate the six murder implements and their connection to suspect habits. Player wikis detail which weapons leave specific traces, helping everyone match physical clues to criminal methods.
