About
Inspector Hector: Case Files is a detective trivia game set in the little town of Winkletown, where riddles, true or false questions and fill-in-the-blank statements are turning up everywhere: in public, in the newspapers, even through the postal boxes. Warden Gordon has called in Inspector Hector to solve as many cases as possible. Each case file is a True or False question, a Riddle or a Fill In The Blank, with nearly 600 cases to crack. Every case file also shows the success rate of other detectives, so you can see how tricky it really is. Get three wrong, however, and the Warden will have to let you go.
How to Play
Read each case file and pick the answer you think is correct. Every right answer adds to your score and builds your streak, while every wrong answer earns you a strike. Get three strikes and the case is closed for good, so solve as many as you can, then see how your score ranks against detectives around the world.
