Unusual Suspects
Unusual Suspects is a detective game where a crime has been committed and it’s up to you to find the culprit in the line-up. Question the suspects, follow the clues about their hair, skin and clothing, and accuse the one who did it. Solve cases with fewer clues to earn extra guesses, and see how many you can crack before you run out.
About
Unusual Suspects is a detective game where a crime has been committed and nine suspects are standing in the line-up. Pick a category such as hair, skin or clothing, then question a suspect to reveal a clue about the culprit. Use each clue to rule people out, tag the ones you know are innocent, and accuse the one you think did it. A wrong accusation costs you a guess, but cracking a case with fewer clues earns you extra guesses for the next one. Solve as many cases as you can before your guesses run out and see where you rank on the global leaderboard.
How to Play
Choose a category to ask about, then select a suspect to question them on it. Each answer gives you a clue about the culprit's hair, skin or clothing. Use the clues to rule suspects out, tag the innocent ones, and accuse the culprit when you're sure. Solve cases to score points and keep going until you run out of guesses.
