There is no limit because when you play this game as a group everyone works together to solve the case. Each game has over 50 documents to examine so it could be played with a large number of individuals.

6. Can you give me a hint on a case?
Did you already read the three hints available on the answer key? If you enter the wrong answer there should be a button that allows you to access 3 hints.
Each hint reveals more of the answer so you can choose how much help you really need without spoiling the answer.
If the three hints still do not help you find the evidence, we may be able to assist you via Facebook chat. We’re not available 24/7 but are often available.
You can also send a request for a hint through our website here
