Major Case File No. 243 - Deadline: December 31, 2017

Happy December! Christmas is right around the corner. Are you ready?

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, which always makes playing even more exciting!

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. 243.

CASE FILE

It's only natural that we'll be celebrating Christmas with our Case File this month. We've got a sparkle-shiny Scene to inspire our challenge. Don't celebrate Christmas or have Christmas photos? No worries! The color scheme is very versatile and suitable for just about any theme, and our Testimony prompts give you options that will work with any theme.

Digital scrappers can find a free template for the sketch, created just for our players by the Nifty Pixel, here.

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:
