Why can’t I play Cases in Pacific Bay or the World Edition?

That means, after you have solved the last Case in Grimsborough, the story will take you to Pacific Bay. If you then have solved all Cases in Pacific Bay, you will be asked to investigate in the World Edition!
Keep investigating and following the story - there are always new adventures ahead!

What is the Message Center?

In the Message Center you can find requests and gifts that your Teammates have sent you.
You can access your Message Center by clicking the Envelope icon on the left side of the Map screen.
If you're playing on mobile, you must first connect to Facebook in order to receive messages that your Teammates send you.
There are 4 different types of messages: Teammates requests, Reports requests, Energy gifts and Thank You gifts.
The messages in your inbox will be ordered according to their type. The number of messages you can receive varies according to the type of message. Once you reach the inbox limit for a particular type of message, all additional incoming messages of that type will automatically be deleted. All messages remain active for 3 days. They are automatically deleted if you do not accept them before their expiration date.
The messages are ordered as follows:
1. Teammate requests
2. Report requests
3. Energy gifts (+2 Energy)
4. Thank You gifts (+1 Energy and Lucky Cards)
If you're playing on Facebook (computer version), there is a limit to how many messages can be displayed at one time. Once you have accepted the all visible messages, you may need to reload your Message Center to display more messages

How do I get a Police Pet and what do they do?

Why should I get a Police Pet?
Police Pets can help you find items (Orange Juice, Energy, Coins, Lucky Cards), called "Lucky Finds," at the end of Crime Scene investigations.
The Lucky Find you get depends on the Special Skills of the pets you've adopted. For example, the German Shepherd can either find 1000 Coins or a Lucky Card, while the King Charles Spaniel will either find 15 XP or a Lucky Card.
How do I get a Police Pet?
There is a Police Pet Shop in each District of Grimsborough, Pacific Bay and the World Edition. You can access Police Pet Shops in previous Districts; you are not restricted to your current District. Also, Pets are not limited to the District where you have adopted them - they can accompany you to any District and Case!
To unlock Police Pet Shops, you will need Gold Medals. You earn Gold Medals by completing all 45/45 Stars in a Case. The Gold Medals that you earn are only valid to unlock Pet Shops in the City in which you earned them (e.g. Gold Medals earned in Grimsborough will not count towards unlocking Pet Shops in Pacific Bay).
Most Dogs can be purchased with Coins, but premium Pets can only be bought with game Cash (on Facebook) or via direct purchase (on the mobile app).
Adopting a Pet
Once you have the required amount of Gold Medals to unlock the Pet Shop, go to the Map view and click on the "Dog" icon in any District you have access to. Choose the pet you want and click "Adopt."
Equipping a Pet
Equipping a Pet means that it will accompany you during all future Crime Scene Investigations until you decide to unequip it.
To equip a Pet or change from one Pet to another, open the Map view and click on the "Dog Bowl" icon. The "Dog House" appears. Click on the green arrows on each side of the pop-up to select the Pet you want, then click the "Equip" button.
How do I make my Police Pet evolve?
Making your Pet evolve will improve its Special Skill, increasing your probability of getting Lucky Finds! Once you have adopted one or more Pets, you will be able to make them evolve by increasing their Loyalty.
The progression of your Pet's Loyalty can be followed by checking the Loyalty bar in the Dog House.
You can increase your Pet's level of Loyalty by feeding it. To do this, click on the Dog bowl icon visible on the Map view. Use the green arrows to select the Pet you want to feed. Choose food for your Pet:

• The Bone gives 1 Loyalty point and is consumed in 5 minutes
• The Fish gives 5 Loyalty points and is consumed in 4 hours
• The Chicken wing gives 10 Loyalty points and is consumed in 12 hours
• The Ham gives 10 Loyalty points and is consumed instantly (this is a purchasable, premium Pet food)

Once your Pet has finished its meal, you can immediately feed it again!
Feeding Tips:

• Bones are the best food to give to your Pets while you are playing, as you can go back and feed them often and easily.
• The Chicken wing is the best food to give to your Pet before going to sleep, as it takes longer for your Pet to finish it.
• A Pet can eat Ham while it is eating something else.
• Nothing bad will happen to your Pet if you forget to feed it. :)

Your Police Pet can Level Up
When your Pet's Loyalty bar is full, it will gain a Loyalty level and its abilities will improve.
In addition, your Pet will grow up when it reaches the 3rd and 5th Loyalty levels, getting a new appearance! Once it reaches Loyalty level 5, your Pet has reached its highest Loyalty level and cannot improve its Special Skill any further.

What are Teammates good for?

Having Teammates can have a positive effect on your game success! Here are some of the things they can help you with:
Assist you in Crime Scenes
Partner up with a Teammate when you enter a Crime Scene. If they have played 5 or more days in a row, they will offer you a full 5 Hints to help you find Items faster and get a higher score!
At the end of the round, you get the opportunity to send them a Lucky Card in thanks for their help. If they choose you as a partner in their game, they may send you a Lucky Card as well.
Fill out Reports
Teammates can send you 3 Reports to unlock your next Case. To take advantage of this, you first need to send out Report requests to your friends.
Send you Energy
Teammates can send you +2 Energy as a daily free gift. You also get +1 Energy every time they accept Energy from you. The more Teammates you have, the more Energy you receive

What are Boosters?

Boosters are special power-ups that help you attain a high-score or find objects faster! They can be purchased with Coins on the "Select a Partner" screen just before launching a Crime Scene investigation.
There are 3 different Boosters:

• Instant Magnifier (costs 500 Coins): Instantly displays a preview of the hidden items in the Crime Scene by hovering your mouse over the item name (if you're on a mobile device, just touch and hold your finger on the item name). This booster is not available for Differences and Puzzle Bonus Crime Scenes. TIP: Use an Instant Magnifier at the beginning of a Crime Scene to learn where all the objects are.
• 5 Hints (costs 1500 Coins): Play Crime Scenes with 5 Hints, no matter how many Hints your Partner has! If you don’t use all these Hints during your investigation, you’ll have a higher Hint Bonus Score. That this Booster is better used when your Partner has only a few Hints and won’t be deducted if your partner has already 5 Hints to offer.
• x6 Combo Starter (costs 3000 Coins): Start Crime Scenes with a completely filled out Combo Bar. Use it to increase your score!

Tips:

• Boosters automatically unlock when you reach Level 5.
• You can use several different Boosters at the same time.
• Boosters are for instant use. You cannot save them for later.
• If you're playing on your computer and you make a mistake when purchasing Boosters, close the game before clicking "Play!". When you reload the game your Coins will have returned to your inventory.

What are Hints? Why do my Teammates sometimes have less Hints?

If you are stuck in the middle of a Crime Scene Investigation, you can use Hints to locate hidden objects.
Hints are provided by the Partner you have selected to investigate a Crime Scene. The number of Hints available (from 1 to 5) is visible on the Partner select screen and in the bottom right corner while investigating a Crime Scene.
To use a Hint during an investigation, click on your Partner’s Avatar in the bottom right corner. A hand will then appear, pointing towards one of the remaining objects to find.
Tips:

• Use Hints when you are stuck and cannot find the last item(s) to complete a the Crime Scene.
• If you have used all the available Hints, the Hint circle will start to slowly refill until 1 Hint becomes available again.
• Every unused Hint at the end of the Scene will give you 20,000 additional points. You can thus get up to 100,000 extra points!
• You can investigate a Crime Scene and have 5 available Hints, even if your Partner has only 1 Hint to offer, thanks to the "5 Hints" Booster!

Why so some of my Partners have more or less Hints?
The number of Hints available to you during an investigation depends on the number of consecutive days your Partner has been playing Criminal Case.
If they remember to play the game for 5 straight days or more, they will have 5 Hints to offer! If they fail to play Criminal Case during one day, their Hint counter goes back to 1.
Likewise, if you play everyday, you will have more Hints to offer your Teammates. With more hints, your friend will be more likely to select you as a Partner, and the more often you are selected as a Partner, the more Lucky Cards you will receive (unless your Teammate chooses to skip this step).

Read More

What is the Daily Bonus?

The Daily Bonus is a free gift you can receive everyday. To claim your Daily Bonus, click on the blue gift icon on the left side of the Map screen.
What you receive depends on the number of consecutive days you have played. You will either get Coins or Energy Items:

• Day 1: 1000x Coins 
• Day 2: 1x Orange Juice (20 Energy)
• Day 3: 2x Orange Juice (40 Energy)
• Day 4: 5000x Coins 
• Day 5: 1x Bag of Chips (50 Energy)

If you continue to collect the Daily Bonus for more than five consecutive days, you will be awarded a Bag of Chips every day!
If you stop playing the game for a day, you will go back to the Day 1 bonus reward of 1000x Coins.
The daily cut off for collecting bonuses is 00:00 UTC. To calculate what this corresponds to in your local timezone, check out this link: http://everytimezone.com
After 00:00 UCT, your Daily Bonus counter will reset to Day 1 if you haven't claimed your bonus.
Example

1. I start playing Criminal Case for the first time on Day 1 and claim my Daily Bonus. I get 1000x Coins.
2. I come back on Day 2 and claim my Daily Bonus. I get 1x Orange Juice instead.
3. On Day 3, I play Criminal Case but I forget to claim my Daily Bonus. I do not get anything.
4. On Day 4, I remember to claim my Daily Bonus. I get 5000x Coins!
5. I come back on Day 5 and also claim my Daily Bonus. I get 1x Bag of Chips.
6. During 3 more days I come back everyday and claim my Daily Bonus. On Day 5, 6, 7 and 8, I get 1x Bag of Chips.
7. Unfortunately I did not have time to play at all on Day 9. When I come back on Day 10 and claim my Daily Bonus, I get 1000x Coins.

The number of consecutive days you have claimed your Daily Bonus also determines how many Hints you will offer to your Teammates when they choose you as a Partner.

What are Lucky Cards?
