How the game works
Everything about game mechanics, character interactions and how investigations unfold.
- Talk to the characters
- Use the chat to question all the characters.
- Ask open questions or use the suggested questions to discover alibis, connections, feelings.
- Some characters are talkative, others more secretive: insist if needed or change your approach.
- Identify all suspects, witnesses and contacts
- Make a list of all the protagonists as you talk.
- Ask who was present, who saw what…
- Don't hesitate to cross-check versions.
- Search for and gather clues
- Each dialogue can reveal an important clue.
- Click or highlight elements of interest in images (if available).
- Note suspicious details, even trivial ones.
- Find the evidence
- Some clues are leads, others are real evidence (fingerprints, objects, testimonies…).
- Confront characters with what you find.
- Unmask the culprit, weapon and motive
- When you think you've understood everything, name the culprit, weapon, motive.
- You can always go back and talk to characters if you have doubts.
- Complete your investigation!
- Give your verdict in the game.
- If you were right… congratulations! Otherwise, try again to find all the secrets.
- Stay informed about the situation
- Start by understanding the general context of the investigation.
- Analyze known facts, timeline and relationships between characters.
- A good interrogation always starts with a good understanding of the situation.
- Make the suspect talk
- Start the discussion with open questions.
- Let the suspect express themselves freely about their version of events, their emotions and motivations.
- The more they talk, the more details—and sometimes flaws—appear.
- Confront contradictions
- Compare their statements with clues and testimonies collected.
- Highlight inconsistencies calmly and observe their reactions.
- Contradictions accumulate: keep a methodical and composed approach.
- Bring out the truth
- Insist until the suspect can no longer maintain their story.
- A successful interrogation leads to clear revelations and the truth.
- Read the question carefully
- The question asked is the key to the mechanism.
- It may concern a date, a quantity, a distance, a specific number, or any other element related to the investigation.
- Form the combination
- Adjust the 4 dials to form the number corresponding to the correct answer.
- Example: a year, a number of objects, a distance in meters, etc.
- Validate quickly
-
Warning: if the minute elapses, the combination is reset.
-
You will then need to recompose the code with the new active combination.
-
Once the correct combination is entered within the time limit, press the round button and the safe will open and reveal its contents.
- Analyze the instructions
- The bomb is accompanied by specific instructions.
- These include:
- a serial number
- 3 deactivation blocks to be processed in the correct order
- Take time to read carefully before acting: a mistake can be fatal.
- Deactivate blocks one by one
- The blocks must be deactivated individually.
- Each block relies on precise logic related to investigation clues.
- Once a block is neutralized, immediately move to the next one.
- Press the final button
- When the 3 blocks are correctly deactivated, a round button becomes accessible.
- Press it to finalize the defusing.
- Avoid failure
-
In case of error:
- the countdown accelerates
- pressure increases
- explosion becomes imminent
-
It is imperative to defuse the bomb before the time limit expires.
-
Successfully defusing a bomb requires composure and concentration.
-
A single hesitation can change everything.
- Check the list of plots
- In the footer, at the bottom left of the screen, a button gives you access to the list of plots to solve.
- Each plot must be resolved one by one to progress the story.
- Make sure no important plot has been forgotten.
- Question all characters
- Make sure you have talked to all available characters.
- Some clues or information only appear after several exchanges.
- Don't hesitate to change your approach or insist if a character remains evasive.
- Collect all important clues
- Explore scenes and places carefully.
- Some clues are discreet but essential to unlock the continuation of the investigation.
- Without these key elements, some plots cannot be resolved.
- Reread collected clues
-
The second button in the footer gives access to the list of clues already collected.
-
Take time to reread them carefully.
-
A forgotten detail or a new interpretation can allow you to make the missing connection and advance in the investigation.
-
In Jack & Mani, progressing requires observation, logic and perseverance.
-
Each blockage often hides a clue or a discussion left aside.
- Discover all people involved
- Make sure you have identified all people related to the case.
- This includes family, witnesses, close ones, or anyone gravitating around the plot.
