Play as Emerson, a fourth grader, who brings a home lunch made by their chef father to school. 

When that lunch goes missing in the cafeteria, the only suspects are your own classmates. Interrogate the others, find clues, and accuse who did it.

Can you figure out who stole your lunch before the bell rings and the culprit gets away for good?

Story Info:

  • The school is based off an American elementary school. 
  • Elementary school is generally the first school that kids go to (But some kids may go to preschool).

Hi! Thank you for playing my game! If you don't know who stole the lunch, try checking everyone's alibis and seeing if it contradicts with any other evidence you have.

If you need more help, I'd be happy to make a walkthrough. :D

nice game! thanks for making and sharing

Thank you so much!!!

Just played through it, it's a nice little IF and a very good effort for a first game. Recommended if you're looking for a lighthearted detective story.
