Don’t forget to read our exclusive Parker & Lane: Criminal Justice guide to help you get started on the right track!

1. Link Your Facebook Account

Before you even begin Parker & Lane: Criminal Justice, it’s a good idea to link your Facebook account. Right off the bat, doing this will reward you with five gems. On top of that, you will be able to see all your Facebook friends who are playing the game as well. You will be able to request for more gems from them, allowing you to progress more quickly in the game. Make sure you invite your friends. The more friends you have in your neighborhood, the more freebies you get.

2. Check Your Mission

When you tap on a level, you will see a smaller window that shows the number of stars you have acquired for that stage, your high score, and whether or not you have found the mouse. Aside from that, you are also given a specific mission that is listed at the bottom. Missions vary for each level, so you will need to pay attention to what it is, so you don’t fail. Keep in mind that it’s possible to finish a level without completing the mission. Completing a mission will reward you with additional gems.

3. Look For The Mouse

Aside from the missions, there is also a mouse that will pop up somewhere in each stage. Keep in mind that he will always appear in the same spot within the same stage no matter how many times you replay it. The problem is, it can be easy to miss him while you are busy processing evidence. A good tactic for figuring out his location is to just spend one playthrough waiting for him to appear. You can then replay the stage and just anticipate his appearance while you complete the stage. Catching the mouse in each stage rewards you with bonus points and coins.

4. Complete The Challenge Levels

The regular levels in Parker & Lane: Criminal Justice are marked by red pushpins. After a few regular levels, you will be able to unlock challenge levels that are indicated by blue pushpins. Challenge levels, as the name suggests, are slightly more difficult than regular levels. Completing them, however, will reward you with precious gems. You also get more gems as you get more stars for each challenge level. Keep in mind, however, that you will not be able to earn additional gems from the same challenge level once you have already earned all three stars from it.

5. Purchase Upgrades Wisely

At the beginning of certain stages, you will be able to purchase upgrades for the location you are about to work on. Gold is used to purchase upgrades, and you will only have limited amounts of it, so make sure you invest wisely. There is no right or wrong answer here, since all upgrades help you in some way. It is just better if you invest in your weakness first. For example, if you struggle with keeping up with incoming investigators, you can upgrade their waiting area. When you do, they will become more patient as they wait for their turn to go to the crime scenes. Try playing a couple of games in one location before purchasing upgrades, so you will have a better idea of what to buy.

6. Refill Your Tools

As you play the game, you will notice that some of the tools have numbers on their bottom left side. This indicates the number of pieces left for that tool. When you use up everything, you will need to refill it before it can be used again. Refilling tools can be time consuming, so make sure you keep an eye on your supplies. If you are running low, and you have a few seconds to spare, quickly refill your consumable tools. Otherwise, you may end up getting overwhelmed by the demands of the investigators.

7. Aim For Three Stars

Every stage in Parker & Lane: Criminal Justice will give you a star rating at the end. Each star has an equivalent reward, either in gold or gems. That means the more stars you get, the better the rewards will be. If you are struggling with a particular level, don’t worry. The good thing about this game is that the stages are not random. That means you will be able to master each stage with enough practice. Just keep playing the same stage over and over until you can comfortably get three stars.

8. Make It Quick

Speed is the primary skill you want to have in any time management game. When you are playing Parker & Lane: Criminal Justice, try to attend to the investigators as quickly as possible. When you are able to cater to a character’s needs quickly, their heart indicators will turn yellow. These yellow hearts indicate that they will no longer lose patience, no matter how long they wait. This is very important since you will be struggling to keep up with the people more often than you think. Having investigators who will not lose patience no matter what will help you get a little breathing room while you figure out the rest of the stage.

9. Complete The Daily Challenges

At the bottom of the screen, you will see a calendar icon with three gems on it. This is the Daily Challenge screen. It will reward you for completing a stage despite certain handicaps. For example, once challenge will ask you to complete the stages while your character is exhausted. That means she will move very slowly, wasting a lot of time. You will get increasing amounts of gems for every star you get from the daily challenge. If you miss a star or two, you can continuously try the challenge until you get it right.

10. Try The Endless Levels

When you are on the main screen, you will notice a small clock icon with an infinity symbol on it at the bottom right. If you tap on it, you will be able to see 18 different levels. These are endless levels that you can try out. You will be able to play them as much as you want until you fail the level. There are different conditions for each of the endless levels. For example, the first one will let you play continuously but there is a timer. The timer will fill up a little every time you complete an investigator’s request. If you can consistently meet requests in a timely manner, you can keep playing the stage. It will only end when you run out of time. Try out the different endless levels and see how far you can go.

It is time to follow the twists and turns of the criminal world in Parker & Lane: Criminal Justice! Just stick to our tips and tricks and you will be solving crimes in no time!
