PS3
Before treating the five cases as one story, separate the rating trophies, the evidence or dialogue unique to each case, and the Case File trophies. Case one is a good place to aim for 100 percent: the early analyses are simpler and the PDA shows your ratings. Save before presenting evidence in an interview or confirming a lab comparison.
The PS3 release was developed by Telltale Games and published by Ubisoft, with 26 trophies. It is separate from CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder on PS2.
- Cases: Five investigations; select the case you need to replay.
- Ratings: Cunning, Skill and Thoroughness each have a 100 percent trophy.
- Online: All trophies are single-player.
Set up your Case File and monitor the three ratings
Let the opening finish, visit Options and open the Case File. Play a video once one becomes available. During investigations, follow the navigation arrows and check views even without an obvious object for Thoroughness. For Skill, confirm only lab matches you have checked; for Cunning, challenge a statement only when you have the relevant evidence. Review the PDA after each major decision.
- Save before an analysis or accusation; reload if the rating drops.
Flash Baked: bring up the asbestos at the right time
Examine the spa and collect the ceiling sample. Continue Pete Baxa’s interview until he talks about Portia’s reasons for the fire, then use the sample to challenge his answer and earn Not Up To Code. Before closing the case, return to areas where you only inspected the first view. If the other ratings are intact, finish the investigation rather than restarting for a view you can still visit.
- Check Not Up To Code and the rating summary before moving to the next case.
Planting Evidence: collect every piece of evidence
Scavenger Hunt is about the evidence in this investigation, not just its ending. Use the Case File to distinguish what you collected from what you merely saw. Rotate inspectable items, zoom in on places that might hide traces and revisit locations opened by new warrants. Finish analyses that reveal more evidence before proceeding to the final resolution.
- Look for the last piece of evidence in case two rather than replaying the entire game.
Tapped Out: two samples and a date
In the Barrett case, examine the garment from John’s room until you isolate both samples; analysing just one does not satisfy A Tough Job. Check Jayne’s security records too. Look for the Sunday discrepancy in the computer comparison rather than moving on at the first familiar detail. These are separate trophies, so check both before closing Tapped Out.
- Confirm both DNA analyses and the discrepancy in the security records.
All Washed Up and Boss Fight: verify the alibis and drive
In case four, keep the phone available as evidence to present to Will Rice when he denies the connection to Veronica. In case five, find the seemingly blank papers in the Gleason storage unit and analyse them, then check around the barrels at Salazar’s hideout for the hard drive. Run it through the lab computer before ending the last case. If ratings are still missing afterward, replay Flash Baked.
- Present the phone during the interview and analyse the drive in the lab.

Frequently asked questions
Do the three ratings need to be perfect in the same case?
Each trophy checks its own rating. Aiming for all three in the first case saves three separate replays.
Can I undo a wrong answer?
Load a save from before the choice. Giving the correct evidence afterward does not undo the recorded mistake in that case.
Do I need online services or other episodes?
No. The five cases and the Case File trophies are part of the PS3 game.
