The curtain is about to rise, but something has vanished backstage. A museum has a theft on its hands. Even the baking contest needs a detective.

Step into 50 standalone mysteries, from robot races and school clubs to animal shelters and busy kitchens. Every case brings a fresh cast, a stolen object, and a trail for you to follow.

In The Great Case Chase, the words you find help you solve the mystery. Search four rooms, track the suspects and objects, and work out who took it, what they stole, and where it is hidden.

How to crack a case

1. Search the rooms. Find every occurrence of the suspect names and objects in four separate word-search areas.
2. Follow the evidence. Compare the rooms to identify the stolen object and the suspect whose trail matches it.
3. Reveal the hiding room. Read the uncrossed circled letters to uncover a secret room name and close the case.
