WhiteTrick

Game Story

WhiteTrick is played with a conman who is defrauding second-hand goods and three police officers chasing him, and their goals vary depending on their roles. The impostor "White" can move while hidden from the three police officers, and must commit additional crimes within a set number of turns. And in order to catch White, the police can investigate White's movement path to find clues, guess his movement route, arrest him, or block his movement route to prevent further crimes.

White background

White has no decent job and is making money by selling second hand goods through fraud. His face is already so well known in this village that he wants to leave the village, but he still lacks money. He needs money to leave town, and there are only three transactions left to reach his goal. The appointment locations and items for the three cases have already been prepared. However, due to frequent crimes, I heard that a special team was formed within the police to catch second-hand dealers and they were hunting him down. Can he commit three additional crimes without being caught by the police?

Police background

"James", who is about to retire, has been transferred to a quiet rural village to spend his remaining years comfortably, and there are "Emily", who is known for being good at work and strict, and "Samuel", his troublemaker. As James expected, the village was maintaining its daily life quietly without any incidents or accidents. But starting one day, similar reports kept coming in. It was a second-hand transaction fraud case. Most of the statements made by the victims were consistent, and a dedicated team was immediately formed to catch him. Perhaps because it was not a skill he had tried once or twice, it was not easy to see him with his own eyes. We need to track down the reported crime location, investigate the surrounding area, and find clues about him. And guess and predict his movement path to prevent him from committing further crimes!
