# Daily Holmes

> Daily Holmes is a free daily visual deduction game. Examine the scene, use the clues to answer the case, then review your score and the explanation. The task varies by case: write, mark evidence, choose an answer, or order events. A new case opens every midnight UTC.

## What it is

A browser game in English, playable on desktop and mobile. No signup is required to play today's case. Daily cases and their explanations are free. A free account lets players save their record and join case discussions when access is available. The Inspector's Desk is the paid membership, with unlimited archive play, a performance report, and one automatic missed-day repair per month. Membership does not buy a case's solution.

## How to play

1. Examine the case images and read the question.
2. Write a deduction, mark clues, choose answers, or order events as instructed.
3. Submit and review the score and explanation. Written deductions receive AI feedback; scoring depends on the case format.
4. Compare interpretations in the case's Common Room when access is available.

## Case formats

Fifteen formats across four families: Read (write your deduction in prose), Mark (find objects and clues in the image), Decide (choose between suspects, statements, or profiles), and Order (reconstruct a sequence of actions). See https://www.dailyholmes.com/modes
