Happy New Year! We're so excited to begin a shiny new year here at CSI! We've got some new Detectives making their debut this month, along with many returning Detectives. We've got lots of awesome new sponsors, along with many returning sponsors.
And--have you heard?--we've got
a brand-new twist on our challenge! We're calling it
Freestyle, and it's tailor-made for everyone. Like the old, traditional way we've had our challenges? We've still got the traditional clues, which you can find at the bottom. Want to try something new? Freestyle the challenge by interpreting the Case File Scene any way you'd like. Or, combine the traditional with the Freestyle and pick and choose the clues you want. No minimum requirements because CSI is all about inspiration and telling your stories YOUR way.
So, are you ready for the new challenge? Grab you forensics kits, CSI players, and get ready for some serious sleuthing as we open Case File No. 245.
