Catch the Criminal is an interactive, scenario-based speaking game designed to improve English proficiency among ESL and EFL learners through immersive role-play and problem-solving. The game features three mini games called cases: a bank robbery, a road accident, and an online scam, where students act as suspects, investigators, and jurors. Integrating crime-related vocabulary and sentence patterns, it engages learners across all Bloom’s Taxonomy levels: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyse, Evaluate, and Create. Its originality lies in combining speaking practice with mystery-solving scenarios in a collaborative PPT slide format, fostering teamwork, critical thinking, and communication in a fun, engaging and informal setting.
