Fun Facts About Detective

  • Sherlock Holmes is the most-adapted fictional character in film history.
  • The word "clue" comes from "clew" — a ball of string used to retrace steps.
  • Fingerprinting as a forensic science took hold in the 1890s.
  • Agatha Christie is the best-selling novelist of all time.

How to Play

Tap any card to flip it over, revealing the detective icon image underneath. Tap a second card — if the two match, they stay face up and you keep going. If not, they flip back after a moment. Your goal is to match every pair in as few moves as possible.

Three difficulty levels are available: easy (6 pairs), medium (8 pairs) and hard (12 pairs). Start on easy if you're new, or jump straight to hard for a proper brain workout.
