That's a really fun game. I loved the close up pictures. They were really detailed. I thought it was interesting that three machines could do so much, such as zooming really close up to see the condition of the hair. I also thought it was cool to see what substances are in the hair.

It was fun to put a game up on your blog! It was cool how you could see all of the details on the hairs and use them to figure out who stole the hair products. You should put more stuff like this!

this game is amazing! I mean, it matches perfectly with the hair detective article, and it was really fun to play the role of a science detective. also, I agree with alexis because I also loved the pictures. I didn't know that the hair cells could be different shapes, and that you could tell whether someone was african-american or not. did you notice that the Jade girl had a mole on her nose?

that was kind of fun, and the scientific facts are fun to do, but i think that some flash games are more fun, but he i like to play video games so what do you expect

It's fun. I'm happy that a game is now on your blog. I'm just wondering why someone would steal another's hair products.

I agree with Cam and Bea, though Bea agreed with me. Wait, I'm confused. Why WOULD someone want to steal someone else's hair products anyway? They could buy their own. Also what was the big deal about the missing hair products? The dude could have gotten more, for crying out loud. I bet he has the IQ of 3. This game is sort of addicting too. It's sooo fun!!! :)

This is a pretty cool game, I think that it should be a little more in depth. I learned a lot though and it was a fun addition to your blog

extension to my other comment:
even though it isn't that fun, it still teaches you about some of the tools that lab scientists use to figure out crimes, since no two hairs on different people are the same, and lots of hair falls out every day

We think it is fascinating that you can tell so much about a person from their hair, and from one of the recent articles, we know scientists can tell the approximate locations.

Thank you for putting a game on your blog. It was fun and challenging, and a great thing to do in your spare time. I haven't played it twice so I don't know if the culprit changes each time. If it didn't...


Anyways, thanks again for putting the game on your blog. It's really interesting that you can find someone's heritage by looking at a HAIR!


As another thing, I'd like to say (as Bea said) that it works perfectly with the hair detective article.

That was a cool game because you could use the tools to see exactly how the hair was like. The tools are highly advanced technology, and work very well! It was a fun game and also kinda interesting what each band member did with their hair. But why would they want to steal hair products? There are usually about three whole sections of hair products at just about every store! Overall, that was a very interesting game.

When I was playing this game, I really felt like I was a detective at a crime scene. It was fun to examine each piece of hair, and try to match it to the person it belonged to. It took a lot of tries to match up some hair to a person, so I can imagine what it would be like to do that in real life; it must be frustrating. It was also very interesting to see what was actually in the hair, like the curly hair was damaged because the person with the curly hair always braided it. Overall, this game was very fascinating and I learned from it.

i thought it was cool how you could realistically look at stuff with machines. I really think that you should put more games. And it was fun. The pictures were pretty detailed.
