Detective: The Test provides you with a series of 3 unrelated crime scenes. You must examine the scenes from a first-person perspective, and put together information from the clues you find to solve the mysteries.

The House

You will get an achievement for starting this case The House.

Head up to the front porch and examine the newspaper on the small table to the right. As you enter the house, look at the warning notice on the front door (which shows the date of April 12). Just inside on the right, listen to the 2 messages on the phone's answering machine. Open the cupboard beneath the phone and read the police report on the left side of the shelf.

Stay downstairs for now and find a small bathroom over to the left - there is a large knife in the basin here. Come back out of the bathroom and search the top right drawer in the cupboards opposite to find a psychiatric report. Continue forward to the kitchen and read the note on the round dining table. Also read the note on the side of the refrigerator. Notice that someone has opened the cutlery drawer in the kitchen. The other door here is locked.

Based on the note from the dining table, go back out to the front yard. Stand in the middle of the path and face the house. There is a pile of rocks to the right of the steps, and if you keep turning right there is a smaller pile of rocks between the bushes. Go and search there to find a fake rock, but the key has been taken.

Head back inside and go upstairs. Look in the wardrobe to see boxes of pills. Examine the computer, listening to the audio files and looking at the information from the internet. Next examine the photo next to the left side of the bed Happy family. Open the cupboard beneath it and read the note. Go around and read the journal in the cupboard to the right of the bed. Now examine the puzzle box near the foot of the bed. Open it by using the hints from the note you just saw:

The box will now open The Key. Take out the key. Go downstairs and unlock the other door coming off the kitchen, then go inside. Look at the book on the bedside table. You now have enough information to solve the case.

Head down the hallway and enter the bedroom on the left. Read the journal on the bedside table, and look at the rocket plans on the desk. Open the desk drawer and examine the sketch here. Now enter the master bedroom at the end of the hallway. Search the top desk drawer for a medical letter. Head back outside.

Enter the second building on the left. Go to the living room and read the letter on the coffee table. There is a mobile phone on the kitchen table that is out of charge. Go back along the hallway to find an office opposite the front door. Examine the photograph on top of the hutch on the desk, and examine the necklace with an engraving just below this. Look at the small note on the corner of the Kathmandu poster on the wall. Examine the computer and read the information from the internet. Also notice the pills on the desk next to the computer. Continue to the bedroom and look at the gun box at the end of the bed. Open the left bedside table and read the Morse code note inside. Examine the mobile phone on top of this bedside table and unlock it with the code 865 Unlock. Look through all the information on the phone, then head outside again.

Working your way around the edge of the caravan park, the next building is locked. Continue on to the next one and head inside. Read the note on the small table near the entrance to see a light code. Next read a letter on a small round table in the living room to the left. Go to the bedroom at the end of the hallway and examine the airline tickets on the bed. Go back outside.

Now you can finally enter the building in the middle of the caravan park. Go to the crime scene and notice the gun on the floor next to the chalk outline. Examine the wallet on the ground and take out the ID card. You now have enough information to solve the case.

Notice the separate bloodstain, and the bloody shoeprints heading towards the male toilets. Walk through this door. In the first stall, look at the police badge on the ground.
