7×7The Flower Store
A corner flower shop at dawn, the scent of roses and lilies mingling with something faintly sickening. Beside the most beautiful bouquet lies someone who will never smell flowers again — and the cash register hasn't been touched.
5×5The Book Kiosk
At a busy book kiosk, shoppers drift between display tables, shelves, and the walkway with paperbacks tucked under their arms. Behind the cheerful fair layout, one quiet corner hides a death that no signing queue can explain.
6×6A Horse With No Name
A sun-baked western stop sits between desert, shack, and canyon, with dust gathering around the tables, cactus patches, boulders, and one uneasy horse. Somewhere in that sparse frontier scene, an unnamed rider has left a murder for the town to solve.
9×9The Riding Lesson
Early morning at a suburban riding school, the sound of hooves echoing through the stable corridor. A riderless horse paces alone — its rider lies in the back of the stable, their final lesson one they will never dismount from.
7×7The Beach
A sun-drenched beach, umbrellas and towels scattered across white sand. The tide washes over a figure frozen at the waterline — in paradise, someone's vacation has just become permanent.
7×7The Dead Plumber
An ordinary suburban house where the owner called for repairs because of a leaky kitchen pipe. The plumber arrived with their toolbox right on schedule — but before fixing the pipe, they became the last victim inside this home.
9×9Hoarders
A hoarder's home stacked floor to ceiling — old newspapers and cardboard boxes forming a labyrinth of narrow passages. When social services finally push the door open, beneath the layers of accumulated clutter lies a deliberately hidden secret.
9×9The Great Escape
A high-walled state prison, security cameras covering every corner. An inmate has planned an elaborate escape — but when the alarms blare and guards seal every exit, they realize there's more to deal with than just a breakout attempt.
9×9The Courtroom
A solemn courtroom, the defendant's seat empty but the gallery packed. The jury is about to deliver its verdict when the gavel falls to the floor — the judge will never strike it again.
9×9Summer Isles
A chain of summer islands scattered across turquoise waters, palm trees swaying in the breeze. Resort guests are enjoying their cocktail hour — until someone discovers that in paradise, not everyone is still alive.
9×9The Backyard Garden
A meticulously maintained backyard garden, roses and tulips lined up in neat rows. A neighbor drops by to borrow a lawnmower and stumbles upon something more disturbing than weeds deep in the flowerbed — a body that shouldn't be there.
9×9A Walk in the Park
A sunny afternoon at the city park, joggers and dog-walkers and parents with strollers each going about their day. Until a runner trips over something in the bushes beside the path — an ordinary walk in the park becomes a crime scene.
6×6The Piano Lesson
A routine piano lesson ends on a wrong note when Vada is found inside the house. The foyer, study, hallway, and closet now form a small but tightly connected crime scene.
7×7The Bus Stop
An ordinary wait by the roadside becomes a crime scene when Vala is found near the bus route. The bus, parked cars, convenience store, yard, and sidewalk all become part of the reconstruction.
Recently Updated7×7The Garage Band
A garage band's practice space spreads through the house — living room, garage, bedroom, and a front yard with a tree and a car on the driveway. Viper is found alone with the killer, and the instruments become part of the reconstruction.
Recently Updated7×7Midnight Rain
Rain pools across an empty street at midnight while the newspaper stall stands closed and a car waits at the curb. Vasilisa is found alone with the killer, leaving seven positions to reconstruct across the two sidewalks and street.
