Energy

 Energy is an integral element in Criminal Case.

The Energy Bar
The energy bar is located at the top-middle area of the screen, and is represented by a counter as the amount of energy in hand. The player can have an unlimited amount of energy although the bar won't refill itself if the player exceeds the 110 energy limit. It takes 3 minutes, 15 seconds for the bar to refill a single energy.

Usage
Without energy, the player cannot advance any further in the storyline as it is required to play crime scenes, which in turn rewards the player with stars, the main element of progressing in the game. Besides that, energy can also be used to achieve certain trophies.

How to Get Energy

 * Automatic refill: The player can wait until their energy bar is partially or completely refilled. Each energy point requires 3 minutes and 20 seconds to be restored and a full bar of energy (up to 110 energy points) requires a wait time of 6 hours and 6 2/3 minutes.
 * Level up refill: When the player levels up, their energy bar will automatically be filled up to 110. It will not exceed 110 if the player had energy points remaining. If the player had more than 110 energy points they will not lose any.
 * Daily bonus: If the player claims their daily bonus reward during at least 3 consecutive days, they will get energy items. The player will obtain a single bag of Potato Chips if they claim their reward for 5 consecutive days or more.
 * Purchase energy items: The player can also purchase energy items with cash to get energy right away. (Note: A bottle of Orange Juice costs 10 cash and gives 20 energy, a bag of Potato Chips costs 25 cash and give 50 energy, and a Burger costs 50 cash and gives 120 energy.)
 * App Page Free Gifts: The player can benefit from the free daily gifts offered every day on the Criminal Case Facebook App Page.
 * Friends' gifts: The player's Criminal Case teammates can send the player 2 energy points as a free gift every day. The player also gets 1 energy point every time their teammates accept energy from the player, although it's optional.
 * Promotion sharing: When the player's friends level up or get promoted (rank up), the friend can share 1 Orange Juice or 1 Potato Chips thanks to their promotion. The player will need to click on the “Claim Orange Juice” or “Claim Potato Chips” that appear in their Facebook News Feed to get those items. Please note that the player can only claim 3 Orange Juices and 1 Potato Chips per day.
 * Clues examination reward: The player can get an energy reward when they perform actions on clues. The faster the player finishes them, the more energy points they obtain.
 * Additional Investigation rewards: Some characters will reward the player with a burger after the player has helped them during the Additional Investigation of a case.
 * Extra stars trading: Once the player has finished a case and its Additional Investigation, they can trade their remaining stars for energy items.
 * Lucky Cards collections: Once the player has a complete collection, they can trade the "Heart" and "Spade" cards for an energy item.
 * Dog Lucky Find: Some dogs can find energy or energy items at the end of a crime scene investigation.
