Q: What is the maximum possible score for this module?
A: Typically, successfully completing a case involves solving all 5 aspects and recording 1 new aspect of the master case, which gives you 20 points. Solving a Distraction would add 3 to this score, for a maximum score of 23. However, some modules change how points are scored or introduce additional objectives. Whatever the scoring conditions or the degree of success of your case, add 3 points to your score if you also solve a Distraction.
