■New game "9 Card Mystery" is now available!

Find the card that gets to the heart of the case from the few clues you have.

9 Card Mystery" is a card-based deduction game in which the player must deduce the truth from the information on the nine cards.

Red: The most important clue (getting closer to the truth)

Yellow: Important supplementary information

Green: Lucky card with luck on your side (no point consumption)

The objective of the game is to find the truth of the case from as few clues as possible by spending "Points" set for each problem and drawing cards. If you fail to deduce the truth, your points will decrease and you risk game over...

You can play up to the second question for free; the third and later questions can be enjoyed only by Premium Plan subscribers.

Questions will be added regularly in the future.
