🔎 RRL Detective: Evidence → Tentative Answer → Research Gap

⏱️ Game: 20:00  |  Twist in: 05:00

1) Load a Case (Timer starts automatically)

Click once. The 20-minute timer starts as soon as the case loads. The twist unlocks 5 minutes after the case starts.

Each case has 15 evidence cards (twist adds 2).

Research Problem
—
What your RRL must produce
  • A tentative answer based on evidence patterns
  • Gap type(s): theoretical, contextual, methodological
  • At least 2 pinned evidence cards to justify your reasoning
Types of Research Gaps
Theoretical gap Studies show patterns or relationships, but the explanation is unclear. The literature may answer “what is happening” but not “why or how it happens.” Look for missing mechanisms, missing concepts, or untested explanations.
Contextual gap Findings may not apply across populations, settings, or time periods. Look for “it depends” evidence, missing comparisons (e.g., rural vs urban), or outdated data that may not fit today’s context.
Methodological gap Designs or measurements limit confidence in conclusions. Look for cross-sectional surveys, weak measures, missing process data, missing comparison groups, or calls for stronger methods.

2) Evidence Tray

Drag evidence into buckets. Cards can fit multiple interpretations. That’s normal in RRL.

Tip: Click Pin on a card to use it as evidence for your final answers.
