The Dinner That Did Not Add Up?

Start case

An evening meal seems ordinary, but symptoms show up later in a way that makes the first explanation uncertain. This starter DxDetective case asks the player to separate stomach upset, anxiety, reflux, a short illness, a common allergy pattern, medication effects, and emergency-reaction risk without naming the hidden trigger. Useful choices focus on timing, recurrence, skin changes, breathing, swelling, dizziness, and what happened on similar nights. The public setup keeps the final cause and answer-bearing exposure words out of view. During play, earned clues make the delayed pattern clearer, while the result explains why safety checks come before puzzle-solving and why a concise episode history helps a professional. Use it to practice observation, triage, journaling, and communication in an educational game, not to manage a real reaction.
