Detective 26

Detective 26 is a deduction board game in which you search randomized, tile-based maps for clues to identify a wanted suspect. Each investigation takes 2 to 5 minutes. You roll dice to move around the map, collect evidence and use it to narrow down the suspects before the turn counter runs out.

Solve the case

Clue cards reveal details about the target’s appearance, habits or secrets. You cross-reference the evidence and decide whether to keep searching for the final clue or make an early accusation. A wanted identity is hidden among a pool of suspects.

Progress and challenges

Successful accusations earn points toward your Investigator Rank. You can unlock maps, abilities and cosmetic skins, while randomized map layouts and suspect placements provide new case setups. The game also tracks win streaks and career statistics, and includes achievements.
