About CaperTrails

A puzzle built around one simple idea.

Every block=one minute

CaperTrails is a series of map-based logic puzzles. Players combine starting information, times, positions and clues to reconstruct possible routes and solve a crime.

The map is the puzzle system: distance controls time, obstacles remove options, and each clue narrows the trail. The result is a detective challenge that is visual, precise and satisfying to reason through.
