When you have completed all of the cards, you’ll have unraveled the mystery and now you know how/why/where the crime was committed. Then… off to the next card, and back to the map. When you think you have found it, you flip over the card where you will see the target illustration (often with map coordinates) so you can confirm that you found the right thing. You scan the map and try to find whatever the card is sending you to look at. in the southwest corner of the city, near the water, close to city hall, etc. The front of the next card will tell you the first thing that you are looking for – giving you some clues where to look…. You get a little bit of background information on the case, and then you move onto the next card.
