Armless Detective Beginner Guide – Evidence & Update
The latest update for Armless Detective brings new cases, hidden clues, and a bunch of tricky evidence types that can easily throw off new players. If you’re diving into the bathroom case or tackling the massive five-star mansion, this guide will walk you through every piece of evidence, what it means, and how to find it.
Understanding the Basics
Each map in Armless Detective has different suspects, and your goal is to figure out who’s responsible by collecting evidence. Every clue links to a personality trait or crime habit — like being a public vandalizer, arsonist, or known looter.
You’ll use gadgets like the magnet, hand gadget, and X-ray scanner to uncover these clues.
1. Bathroom Case – All Evidence Explained
The bathroom map has four new clues, each tied to specific suspect behaviors. Let’s break them down:
Public Vandalizer
How to Find: Use the magnet on the broken sinks.
Clue Result: If the magnet is attracted to them, your suspect is the public vandalizer.
Common Mistake: The graffiti-on-painting clue belongs to another map — ignore it here.
Mouse Trails
How to Find: Use the hand gadget on mouse holes around the bathroom and storage area.
Clue Result: If a mouse comes out of the hole, that means the suspect leaves mice behind.
Tip: Check every hole. There’s a hidden one in the storage room that’s easy to miss.
Finding the Storage Room Key
How to Unlock: The key spawns randomly, but sometimes it’s inside the toilet.
Use the Hand Gadget to search the toilet. If you find the key, you can open the storage room.
The Shoe Clue
How to Find: Look for a shoe lying around in open areas.
Clue Result: The suspect is someone who forgets to take their shoes off — a behavioral hint.
Hidden Objects
How to Find: Carefully inspect inside sinks. You might spot gadget parts mixed with cups.
Clue Result: The suspect likes to hide evidence or objects.
Arsonist Sign
How to Find: If you see fire or smoke coming out of the toilet, it’s a big giveaway.
Clue Result: Your suspect is an arsonist.
Known Looter
How to Find: Check the storage room once it’s unlocked.
Clue Result:
If the room is messy, the suspect is not a looter.
If it’s too clean, that confirms they’re the known looter.
2. Five-Star Case – Advanced Map & Evidence
This mansion-level map is much larger and harder to navigate. Here’s how each piece of evidence works:
Bookworm
- How to Find: Visit the library and inspect the area.
- Clue Result: If it’s messy or filled with scattered books, the suspect is a bookworm.
Public Vandalizer
How to Find: Use the X-ray gadget to inspect paintings around the house.
Clue Result: If a painting has pen marks or graffiti, that’s your vandalizer.
Tooth Fairy Believer
How to Find: Go to Mr. Moola’s Room, and use the hand gadget to lift the pillow.
Clue Result: A tooth under the pillow means the suspect believes in the Tooth Fairy.
Wealthy Suspect
How to Find: Use the magnet again.
Clue Result: If it attracts a diamond, that confirms your suspect is rich.
Bobby Pins
How to Find: Look carefully around the map for bobby pins on the floor or near furniture.
Clue Result: These indicate that the suspect was recently at the scene — a solid trail marker.
