Major Case File No. 225 - Deadline: March 31, 2017

I know February is a short month, but this one just zoomed by!

With a new month beginning, we present our Major Case File, which features an awesome Composite Sketch created just for CSI by The Nifty Pixel. This challenge will stay open for the entire month. We've also got a brand-new line up of sponsors and a Special Investigator too!

So, are you ready for the new challenge? Grab you forensics kits, CSI players, and get ready for some serious sleuthing as we open Major Case File No. 225.

CASE FILE:

We're mixing it up this month with our Case File themes. Did you know that March 1 is National Pig Day? Not sure where that holiday came from, but we thought it would be a fun theme for a Case File, and flying pigs are always super fun! With that in mind, we've got a delightful Scene to inspire our Case File by Peruvian children's illustrator Juana Martinez-Neal.

Remember to scroll all the way down to the bottom of this reveal post for RGB codes, color descriptions, and more detailed explanations of the Evidence and Testimony prompts.

For our Russian players, Detective Anastasia has translated our Case File into Russian:
