I just started playing sleuth this past weekend and i absolutely love it. I have always been a big fan of the Nancy Drew books and computer games. Has anyone else played the games? Anyway, I really like this sleuthing thing but I wish you could play more than 3 case and travel without the subscription. I am not necessarily willing to pay money to play a game that soaks up my brain, even though I love it. If I were to buy it I would feel more pressured to play when I have more important things to do. Did anyone else suffer from this problem before they got thier subscription?
Post back!

Welcome to the addiction. Sometimes (at least for me) 10 cases isn't enough, while at other times it is too many. Agatha makes a good point about using cases for travel or storing them. When you store cases, you can either mark them private and come back to them later, or mark them public and others can take them if they need cases. Sometimes you get stuck and you file them so a member can help you with them. My point is, you don't HAVE to do all 10 in one day. It really is worth subbing. I waited quite a while, and when I finally did, I wondered why I had waited so long. Good luck with your new addicti- I mean with your new found fun...

Subscribing is well worth it, and double the fun....and the addiction. I cant imagine my life without Sleuth. *sigh*

So you're saying that you can store cases for later times? Is there a limit to how many you can store? I really appreciate every one that responded. It has given me more to think about and more reasons to subscribe!

It depends on the agency as to how many cases you can store and you can only store cases in your home office. At our Agency in New York each detective can store 7 cases, some agencies it could be 5 or under depending on what property the agency is renting.

So you can only save cases if you are in an agency, I get it. Thanks!

I have to agree with Mak life without sleuth would be so dull I would actually have to work so that I wouldnt be bored..... Now I can solve a couple cases do a favor and chat with people about sleuth.... I have to admit my life is.......Well I wish I really was Charlie so I could expirence this stuff first hand and not read about it. Subscribing is definatly worth it.
