Roadmap
Step 1 – Play through the 6 Cases and collect and do everything in one run
Nothing is missable! You can replay every case as often you want. You don’t need to collect anything in one run, but it’s recommended. If you miss an object, you can come back, collect the object and exit the case after saving. You don’t have to replay the whole case. Below you will find an overview of all cases and the related trophies. Click on the trophy to jump to a certain part and get more information.
Step 2 – Poke Detective McQueen 50 times
Of course, you can do this early and in any case, you want. Just click 50 times on Detective McQueen (yourself, the main character) and you will unlock the last trophy and the platinum trophy as well.
Step 3 – Complete the Bonus Case 7+8+9 to get 100%
