The game was based on the Adventure Game Toolkit, an engine for text adventure titles, which gave some freedom to choose what your character will be doing. Detective is a short game (some contemporary reviews attributed that it can be finished in as little as 30 moves), but it was not designed as a serious contender for other titles and rather as a parody. There are some elements (like instant death rooms) that are placed there just to trick the player.
According to Moby Games, Detective has fifty six locations to visit and the highest possible score is 355 points.
