• Interactive Challenge 1: Begins with a short introduction to the short story/crime, giving a summary of the main characters and plot.

• Interactive Challenge 2: Utilises maps that readers use to manoeuvre around the chapters, completing each puzzle not in a chronological order but, instead, relying on tips and clues from each solved puzzle to travel around the book, like a maze.
• Interactive Challenge 3: Drops hidden clues that accumulate into a final, overarching word search, which requires the completed clues from all 6 chapters.
