Questions

Before you make your accusation

Is Five Suspects free?

Yes. Every case and its answer post free. The Big Case, a deeper weekly case, costs $6.

Where do I watch?

On TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. New cases at 7 pm ET, answers at noon the next day.

How do I know a case is fair?

Every case is built to have exactly one answer you can prove from its clues. Before it goes out, AI solvers that see exactly what you see, and never the answer, try to break it. If one can make a second suspect fit, the case is rewritten. The suspects are drawn from one template, so no picture points at anyone.

Who makes Five Suspects?

Five Suspects is made by Funbase, an independent studio. Made with AI tools: the illustrations are AI-generated, and AI agents draft and check each case. Every case is built to have exactly one answer you can prove from its clues.

Can I cancel a membership?

Any time. Everything you have already downloaded is yours to keep.
