Amsterdam, present day. A crime has been committed, but police investigations lead nowhere. An anonymous client has contacted your detective agency to investigate, and your rivals are also on the case, so time is of the essence.
Your intelligence officer will guide your detectives around the city using coded images. Each image contains location clues for those who can decipher them, but you must decode the messages faster than your rivals while avoiding the police. Explore the city to find three pieces of evidence and present them to your client before the other team to win the game!
