Custom Cases Strategy

For custom cases, identify the case premise first, then ask for timeline, motive, opportunity, contradiction, and confession in that order.

Custom cases are useful because they test whether your questioning system works outside a known route. Treat the first prompt as discovery: ask the suspect to describe the event in their own words, then mark every concrete detail.

The five columns that matter are timeline, motive, opportunity, object, and witness. If a custom premise gives you only one of those columns, use the next question to open another. A confession usually needs at least two columns to collide.

Do not overfit a custom case to a base-case answer. If the suspect introduces a new room, tool, person, or reason, follow that detail. The AI response is the evidence stream for that run.

If you are designing your own custom case, give the setup one central contradiction. Too many twists make the interrogation noisy, while one clean contradiction lets the player discover and press it within 10 tries.

The strongest closing prompt connects motive and opportunity to one changed statement. Keep it direct: You had the reason, you were the only person near the object, and your timeline changed. Tell me what you did.

Practical route

1. Start with one neutral question that asks for a timeline, place, object, or witness.
2. Turn every new concrete detail into a short note before asking the next question.
3. Press only one contradiction at a time, using the suspect's own wording.
4. Save the final tries for a direct confession ask that names the strongest evidence chain.

Mistakes to avoid

• Do not ask two unrelated questions in one terminal prompt.
• Do not insult the suspect when a factual contradiction would apply more pressure.
• Do not treat a daily or custom case as identical to a previous route.
• Do not waste the last two tries collecting background facts that do not lead to the action.

Custom case setup

Before the first terminal question, turn the custom prompt into a small case board. Identify the suspect, incident, evidence, timeline, motive, and confession target. If the prompt does not provide one of those details, your early questions should gather it.

Custom cases are easier when you avoid cinematic accusations. Ask one detail at a time and let the AI response create the next branch. When a suspect invents a new explanation, test it against the original prompt rather than chasing every new story thread.

Prompt repair

If the suspect refuses to move, ask a narrower question. If they confess only partly, ask what happened before and after the admitted action. If they contradict the prompt, quote the contradiction and ask which version is true.

Quick FAQ

Should I copy a video prompt exactly?

No. Use videos to understand the shape of a successful route, then adapt the wording to the current answer. AI Interrogation responses can vary, so exact copying can waste a try when the suspect reacts differently.

What should I do after a vague answer?

Ask for one concrete detail. Time, place, object, witness, and motive questions are easier to evaluate than broad accusations.

When should I stop gathering clues?

Stop when you have one contradiction strong enough to explain in a single sentence. The last attempts should press that contradiction and ask for the action behind it.
