Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Five Suspects presents short illustrated mysteries: watch the case, inspect its clues, name a suspect, then check the answer the next day.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-03 issue.
For
Short-form mystery viewers and armchair detectives
Worth noticing
The site says cases are tested with AI solvers shown the same clues as viewers but not the answer; a second plausible suspect triggers a rewrite.

Field notes

The stated viewing loop runs across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook: watch a short, pause on numbered clues, comment with a suspect number, then return for the answer at noon ET. The free case file is printable or readable onscreen and keeps the solution out. For fairness, the site says AI solvers receive the same clues as viewers but never the answer; if a second suspect can fit, the case is rewritten.
