Scoring and Points System

Instead of money, all progress is tracked using points, earned in three primary ways:

Action	Points Earned
Solve a KC7 question (as part of the investigation)	🟢 10–100 points
Correctly attribute a suspect with supporting evidence	🟢 20–50 points
Ask a sharp investigative question that unlocks a new clue	🟢 5–15 points
Submit a high-quality case summary or complete evidence package	🟢 Up to 1000 points

Points are awarded by the Investigative Committee at the facilitator station. Teams submit written answers or forms, and facilitators issue a code to be entered into the KC7 platform, which credits the points automatically to the leaderboard.
