WITNESS MARK is a deduction game on a real Game Boy ROM with 160 proved fair cases and 390 suspects. Play five cases free in your browser on this page. Five suspects stand in a lineup. A few marks describe the culprit: a hat, a coat, a collar, a face. Cross off who cannot have done it and accuse who is left. Three wrong arrests end the docket.

A witness mark is a term from horology, the faint trace one part leaves on another, which a restorer reads to work out where things sat. What is inside 160 cases · 4 tiers · 390 suspects · 19 drawn parts · 8 cases to a docket · English and Spanish cartridges · 32,768 byte ROM Every case carries a proof, checked exhaustively before the ROM existed.

The culprit satisfies every mark, exactly one suspect does, and deleting any mark stops the case resolving Every mark fits at least two suspects and rules out at least one, so the answer has to come from the marks together Four tiers, and the last two lie: from tier three one witness is lying and you are not told which.
