What it is about

How many times have you thought, I wish there were a game I could play on my commute that I don't need dice or cards. Just some little diversion that will make this trip quick because I'm engaged in something fun. Welcome to Citizen Detective! In Citizen Detective you are trying to find a criminal on the run. You need to identify suspects and then watch what they do. Did they pull their hoodie over their head to hide their face? Or drop something on the floor to get a look at you? You need to decide who the criminal is and  prove it before your trip ends or you lose the game. It's rules light and doesn't really need anything but the play sheet and a pen to play. Instead of a book full of prompts or the need to roll dice, you propel the game forward by observing movements and actions around you. You can choose to journal on paper or just tell the story in your head. Make the next long trip you take an adventure!
