Is Your Tree Ready to Lock?

Stuck Here?

Pick what went wrong with the step you are on.

  • I can't find the search result

    Three things usually cause this: the wrong engine, a phrase the game does not accept, or a lead the story has not opened yet.

    Check the accepted terms

  • I can't identify the person

    Work from the portrait or the document that names them, then place them on the chart.

    Check the family tree slot

  • I'm missing the evidence

    A clue you already own usually points at the document. Browse what the campaign holds before searching for something new.

    Browse the clues

  • A batch won't lock

    A batch needs a set number of correct entries, and one wrong portrait or occupation holds the rest back.

    Check the lock rules

Late Game

After the chart fills, the client asks you to re-check the earlier conclusions. The clue wording changes from finding people to finding contradictions.

Inconsistencies

Reopen the conclusions that rested on a single document, and confirm the two halves of each late name before you move on.

Work through the re-check phase
