Uncracked City

Uncracked City is a detective game set in real cities. Players search neighbourhoods for clues, question suspects by typing or speaking questions in any of the game's six languages, and hold clues against statements to catch lies. Players have three tries to write a report once the lie cracks. A training world tour across Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Marrakech, Tokyo, and Sydney precedes real cases, and each case shows how many investigators have solved it. The page describes a Halloween case set in Salem, 2025, and cities such as Venice, Lisbon, Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Cusco, Seoul, Cape Town, and New York are listed as places where cases are stamped in a player's passport. The game is played without an account, and progress is tied to the phone that created the player. Availability is listed on the App Store and Google Play, with a YouTube teaser.
