## 033v2 Detective — Why It Wins

### Alignment with User Goals

| User Goal | How Detective Meets It |
|-----------|----------------------|

| Multi-turn | 5-7 rounds per case |
| Human-AI collaboration | Human (Chief) directs the investigation |
| Cost efficient | Mostly text between Kimi calls |
| Fun/engagement | Mystery + competition |

### What Makes It Special

1. **Natural two-agent roles:** Witness (sees) + Detective (thinks)
2. **Human as boss:** Chief directs investigation, not passive observer
3. **Multi-turn structure:** Each round builds the case
4. **Kimi's strength shines:** Visual evidence analysis is the core mechanic
5. **Scoring system:** Track cases solved, rounds taken, accuracy

| Aspect | Spot the Difference | Tarot | Alchemy | **Detective** |
|--------|-------------------|-------|---------|---------------|
| Visual Analysis | 4 | 4 | 4 | **5** |

## Recommendation

**Go with 033v2 Detective.**

### Why Not Others
