The Great Detective Pikachu

What was your first ever videogame?

My first ever video game was the Great Detective Pikachu, where you team up with a talking Pikachu to crack a series of mysteries. It sounds like a kids’ game, but it taught me something i still use in my work every single day. The answer is almost never in the obvious clue. It’s in the detail everyone else walked past.šŸ˜Ž

That’s the whole game, really. You gather testimony, poke holes in it, and follow the small inconsistencies until the truth falls out. Players learn to slow down and ask better questions instead of grabbing the first answer that fits.

If you take one tip from my corner of the world, make it this: When something doesn’t add up, don’t move on. Sit with it. The weird little detail is usually where the real answer is hiding!šŸ™
