Criminal Case

Criminal Case (often referred to as "CC") is a Facebook detective-themed hidden objects game developed and published by Pretty Simple Games, a top European social gaming company. You will be investigating murders and find clues to incriminate the killer behind the murder. After reaching the requirements, you will have to arrest the killer in order to progress through the cases.

Criminal Case was released on November 15, 2012. On December 9, 2013, it was named the Facebook Game of the Year 2013.

Setting


The game's time setting is in 2012 and 2013. The city you investigate in is named "Grimsborough". Grimsborough contains six districts which are the Industrial Area, the Financial Center, the Historical Center, the University and Maple Heights and a hidden district called Airport (which can be unlocked after finishing the first 51 cases). Each district holds 10 cases excluding the Industrial Area which contains 11 cases and the Airport which contains 5. There are a total of 56 cases in the game.

Gameplay
You play Criminal Case as a rookie cop who needs to crack some cases, typically of the bloody variety. You study crime scenes by clicking on different objects scattered through the area. The faster you click, the greater your score and your reward. You earn Stars by investigating crime scenes, which in turn are used as currency when it’s time to perform autopsies, analyze evidence, or question witnesses.



Criminal Case does offer a new trick or two, like puzzle-style hidden object scenes that must be unscrambled. There are also a few simple click-and-drag activities to break up your routine, like shuffling through suspects’ garbage or clothes. But what really makes Criminal Case stand out are its blood-spattered crime scenes. You’ll see victims with cut throats, body parts decomposing in a backyard, and a naked man with a partially hacked-up body.

You’re allotted a small amount of energy that doesn’t receive a guaranteed fill-up when you advance in levels. Necessary autopsies and analyses will take a few hours, and interrogations require Stars to complete. To earn Stars, you need to play hidden object scenes over and over, with each “go” requiring 20 energy. Predictably, energy fills up slowly, and the game doesn’t start you off with a small stash of premium currency. You need to whip out your wallet from the get-go, or be prepared to wait for hours, perform a few tasks, then wait for more hours.
