How to play CaperTrails
Solve the crime one minute at a time.
Everything you need is on the map and in the clues. Your job is to find the only route—or routes—that make every detail true.
02
Study the map
Every square is one minute
- Move one block horizontally or vertically.
- Never move diagonally.
- Never enter a blocked square.
03
Follow the clues
Turn words into constraints
Times, positions, directions and passing-through clues remove impossible routes. Use every clue together.
04
Reconstruct the routes
Advance the clock with each block
Draw or test each possible move. Unless the case says otherwise, a route cannot revisit the same cell.

Solve the case
Submit the verdict that fits everything
Path, Hideout and Crossing cases ask for different verdicts, but the principle stays the same: every clue must be true.
