Get ready for a mystery that’s more twisted than a pretzel at a carnival!
Inspector Hale and Detective Crane are hot on the heels of a history professor who has pulled a Houdini! Professor Eldridge, a guy who’s more eccentric than a cat wearing a top hat, has mysteriously vanished into thin air, leaving his office looking like a tornado just hit it. And guess what? He’s also Crane’s old buddy, which means this case is personal!
Did he get lost in a time machine? Did he finally uncover a way to avoid grading papers? Whatever the reason, he’s clearly in a pickle — and not the kind you find in a jar. Time for our dynamic duo to put on their detective hats (and maybe some knee pads for all that crawling around) and figure out what happened to their favorite sprightly scholar!
First things first — check your Investigation log. It keeps a record of your entire adventure. You can open it anytime by clicking the book icon at the top of the screen. At the top of the screen, a new clue will appear each turn. Move it left or right using your mouse or finger. When you release it, the clue will fall down. Try to make it collide with another of the same kind. When two identical clues meet, they combine into a new one.
