Case 1

Final Whistle — hint guide

Choose the printed item you are stuck on. Open one hint at a time.

Player rule: look at the photo first. Open hints only when needed.

Spoilers are hidden: answers stay inside the final reveal for each item.

Thumbnails: photos are pre-blurred files so you can match the prop, not read fine print from the screen.

The ID has its own symbol language.

Stronger hint

Use “Mumbai Crime Branch” and the markings on the ID as a symbol key—not a calendar year.

Final reveal — vault website: type 25 in box 6 (two digits).

On paper you may decode other numbers from the ID; for this online vault, box 6 is only 25.
