LEGAL NOTICE

MYSTRIX FILES publications are original works of fiction combined with interactive detective puzzles.

The characters, names, clues, locations, investigations, organisations, incidents, dialogue, events, businesses, institutions, and other elements portrayed in the publications are fictional or are used fictitiously.

Any resemblance to actual persons, living or deceased, businesses, organisations, locations, or actual events is purely coincidental unless specifically stated otherwise.

The publications and investigations are created solely for entertainment purposes.

The names, identities, records, clues, evidence, timelines, locations, and other investigative elements presented within a case may be fictional constructs created specifically for that investigation.

Nothing contained within a MYSTRIX FILES publication should be interpreted as a factual account of real events.

WEBSITE CONTENT

All original content appearing on mystrixfiles.com, including text, graphics, images, logos, designs, puzzles, case-related materials, and other original creative works, is protected by applicable intellectual property laws unless otherwise stated.

Third-party trademarks, logos, names, or other intellectual property appearing on the website remain the property of their respective owners.

PUZZLE DISCLAIMER

MYSTRIX FILES is designed to provide an immersive detective experience.

These are not simple deduction puzzles.

Every investigation is designed to reward careful observation, logical reasoning, sharp intuition, attention to detail, and relentless detective work.

Readers may be required to examine records, identify patterns, interpret clues, eliminate false suspects, connect evidence, test alibis, and reconstruct information before reaching the final solution.

Depending on the case, readers may be asked to:

  • Identify the correct location or investigation area
  • Examine detailed records
  • Eliminate false suspects
  • Collect hidden Data Fragments
  • Connect seemingly unrelated pieces of evidence
  • Decode or interpret clues
  • Test timelines and alibis
  • Identify the final suspect
  • Piece together the evidence before reaching a conclusion

Every clue is intended to contribute to the investigation.

There is one intended solution to each case.

The purpose of the puzzles is entertainment and intellectual challenge. The investigations are fictional and should not be treated as professional investigative, legal, forensic, or security advice.

Readers are encouraged to solve each case using the information and evidence provided within the relevant publication.
