In 3 Secrets: Crime Time, you are detectives who are traveling in time and struggling with unsolved cases. The goal of the game is to unravel the three secrets of an unresolved case before time runs out. The supercomputer HAL knows the truth, but cannot reveal everything it knows due to the time distortion. Players have to ask it questions, using their lateral thinking and deductive skills, to unravel the mystery before they must return to base!
