CLUSTER GAME-PLAYERS-CLUES · 29 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-03-02
Detective mystery games
This cluster consists of detective- and mystery-solving games spanning murder investigations, fake-news detection, clinical-trial fraud, and AI interrogations. Dated entries are sparse and irregular, starting with one in 2017-01, then single entries in 2022-06 and 2024-04, followed by two in 2026-03 and 2026-07. Traction is led by Detective-FastAPI-game and agent-parole-board, both with 2 stars, while br has 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
