Can You Solve The Weighing Room? Ten Free Detective Cases
The Weighing Room Sampler gives you ten complete Palmarosa investigations to solve on a tablet or computer: three Elementary, four Medium and three Hard 5×5 cases.
What is inside the sampler?
The 49-page PDF contains ten story-led Zora Bell cases, atmospheric scene dossiers, suspect statements, record extracts, 561 fillable grid cells, seven working-note fields, linked contents and a reveal link for each investigation. You can enter marks directly into the file, save your progress and move to a solution only when you choose.
- Three Elementary cases for learning the method.
- Four Medium cases that combine more constraints.
- Three Hard cases using full 5×5 grids.
What makes the cases fair?
Each case was checked for exactly one solution, no redundant formal clue and a deduction-only path. No single clue names the killer’s motive outright. Instead, the answer emerges by connecting records, timings, relationships and exclusions.
- One provable solution per case.
- All necessary evidence appears before the reveal.
- The complete reasoning chain is printed with the solution.
How should you begin?
Start with an Elementary case even if you already enjoy logic puzzles. Download the file and open it in the current free Adobe Acrobat Reader app, then read the question before the evidence and enter direct matches and exclusions first. Move up a level when you can explain each mark without guessing.
- Acrobat Reader is the supported app on iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows and macOS.
- Do not complete the grids in Apple Books or a browser preview.
- Use the reveal links only after recording your verdict.

The sampler is free and no purchase is required. If you enjoy its evidence-led format, the complete Zora Bell trilogy continues with 36 longer investigations across Bellacane, Cala Sombra and Maravilla.
