The exhibition features hyper-realistic crime scene setups.
To help fans conduct professional investigations, each visitor receives a “Detective Handbook” upon entry. There are two versions to choose from: the professional forensic terminology edition for “Conan & Amuro,” and the beginner reasoning edition for “Conan & Ran.”

There’s also the office of Detective Kogoro Mouri.
Both versions of the detective handbook guide fans on how to observe crime scenes, record various clues and witness testimonies, and then use realistic forensic tools — such as voiceprint, handwriting, fingerprint, and blood analysis — to uncover the truth.

Plus, there's the Polo Café.
The exhibition venue is divided into three main zones: the Crime Scene Investigation Area for gathering evidence, the Clue Exploration Area for obtaining information, and the Forensic Science Lab Area for analyzing exhibits, allowing fans to solve the mystery by piecing together clues and enjoying the thrill of cracking the case.
