The Twist: Upon unlocking a clue, it only appears within the app for a 24 hr period.
Users find clues at locations across Wellington (accessible via foot) that lead on to further locations, building a narrative as you play and ‘solve’ the case. Clues can work in collaboration with local businesses/ attractions, and can range from being on site, to being found upon ordering special menu items, to carrying out tasks within a clue location. Clues + key narrative points are housed within the Occassus app- from suspect backstories to specialist scanners for clue reveals.
