The Grade 5B Case Files

The Grade 5B Case Files is a chapter-based mystery about two Grade 5, Class B students at Seashell Elementary School who investigate unusual incidents hidden in everyday school life. Watsonia buys a notebook because she likes its cute cover, and it becomes the place where she records clues as she and her classmate Holmlyn work together to uncover the truth behind each case. What may seem trivial to others is a difficult case for the girls, and their investigations gradually reveal a broader picture of life at school.

The investigators

Holmlyn is quiet and reserved, has no especially close friends in her class, and is passionate about origami and interested in sprinting. Detailed-oriented and action-driven, she leads the investigations. Watsonia is cheerful and innocent, an ordinary student who likes buying things she finds cute, even when her taste is not mainstream. She acts as Holmlyn’s assistant and carefully records every clue in her notebook.

Classmates, teachers and students from other grades appear in the school-set story. You collect clues, investigate, consider the evidence and make deductions alongside the two girls. Watsonia’s notebook keeps track of the clues, and you can return to it if you lose track of the investigation.

Chapters and cases

The linear story unfolds across five chapters, each taking about one hour to complete. Seemingly ordinary incidents form a larger story as the chapters progress. Chapter 1 offers a complete standalone story; the remaining chapters continue the narrative.

The Grade 5B Case Files also begins a series set in the same theme and setting. Future titles are planned, each expected to contain around five chapters and continue exploring mysteries hidden in everyday life.
