DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO CATCH A MURDERER ON THE RUN?

The local community is left reeling after your colleague dies under suspicious circumstances at the small-town newspaper where you work. On your desk, you find a strange note with a riddle that seems to be from the killer... you are curious, to say the least. Who wouldn't be?

Featuring 100 puzzles to solve over ten captivating cases, A Puzzling Pursuit takes you on an unforgettable yet treacherous road trip across Australia. From the Great Ocean Road to the East Coast's iconic Big Things and through the Outback, you must do everything in your power to find this mysterious villain who always seems to be one step ahead of you.

Sharpen your pencils and your detective skills to outwit the killer before they strike again!
