Every challenge here is open for comments and community walkthroughs. New releases include a Google Form link (in the post) for the first 48 hours — submit there for a shot at Top 3, and subscribe so you don't miss the window.
A note before you dig in: every challenge here is a fictionalized scenario built for OSINT skill-practice. Names, characters, and storylines are invented — any real locations shown are used purely for geolocation practice. Please keep your research respectful, ethical, and limited to publicly available information. New to OSINT? Read Should I Be Doing This? first.
New here? Jump into any challenge you like.
Each one stands on its own — though a few storylines carry across cases, so starting at Challenge 1 gets you the full story if you're curious.
