Fairness

  • All investigations, persons and documents are fictional.
  • Rewards apply only to eligible cases and are stated on each case file.
  • Reward conditions are defined per case and published with that case.
  • Submissions are evaluated according to the published rules.
  • Purchasing a case does not guarantee a reward.
  • Payment never influences Review Board evaluation.

Access price is what you pay to open a case file. Case reward is what an investigator may receive for a verified resolution. They are never the same amount.

PLACEHOLDER — Reward amounts, eligibility and evaluation rules shown in this interface are provisional demonstration values pending final legal and business validation.

Skill-based resolution — not a game of chance
