Game Introduction – Criminal Minds

General Tips

When starting a case, you can choose between one of two difficulties: Casual or Expert. Casual features hint and skip buttons recharging faster, and active areas being highlighted with sparkles. Expert features slower hint and skip recharges, and active areas won’t be highlighted.
At the top right corner of the inventory bar is the FBI Handbook. You can open this to read more about the task force and the various members of it.
In the lower left corner is the Menu (a monitor that says “Criminal Minds”), the Hint button (in the shape of a badge), and the Tasks notepad. Hints are unlimited, but require time to recharge. Click on the Tasks notepad to see what tasks you have yet to complete. When you use the Hint button outside of a hidden object area, you will have the option to view a Hint related to a specific task.
Inventory items are identified with CAPS in the guide below and are circled in red.
In hidden object areas, Inventory items and Question marks will be circled. Question marks are circled in blue. Finding these will cause jumbled words to unscramble.
