This game teaches interviewing skills in the context of a police investigation. Learners are assigned the task of interviewing a witness to a bank robbery to elicit clues to the identity of the robber.

The game provides the learner with choices that affect the course of the game. At any point learners can try to solve the mystery.

Most feedback is provided by events in the game. Events reveal whether the learner's previous action was appropriate.

Learners receive a score based on the efficiency with which they solved the mystery as well as a critique that recaps their actions and comments on each of the actions.
