Boilerplate
Funbase is an independent games studio making mysteries you can actually solve. Its first game, Five Suspects, is a series of illustrated whodunits: five suspects, one culprit, and every clue on screen. Each case is built to have exactly one answer you can prove from its clues. Funbase makes its games with AI tools and says so plainly. More at funbase.ai.
Say “Funbase” in text. The lowercase wordmark is for the logo only.
Logos
The keyhole tile and the wordmark. The keyhole is a door you open with your own reasoning, and, if you squint, a game piece.
Room to breathe
Keep clear space around the logo equal to the height of the keyhole tile. The logo is never smaller than 20 px tall on screen, the mark never smaller than 16 px.
- Don’t stretch, rotate, outline or add effects.
- Don’t recolour the tile, or set the wordmark in signal.
- Don’t put the logo over busy art without a solid backing.
- Don’t redraw the wordmark in another font, or rebuild the keyhole.
Colour
Ink and paper do the work; signal is the spark. Use it for the mark and one action per view, never for long text.

Five Suspects carries its own palette, from its casebook paintings
Type
One family for the studio, a typewriter's cousin for labels, and the casebook's own serif for Five Suspects.

FIVE SUSPECTS
Voice
We write the way a good detective talks: clearly, kindly, and only about what we can back up. No invented numbers, no reviews we don't have, no playing-time claims until people have been timed.
Plain and exact
Every clue is on screen.
An unforgettable, mind-bending experience!
Fair, never smug
You can work it out. Here’s how.
Bet you didn’t see that coming.
Warm, not cute
Argue it out over dinner.
Unleash your inner sleuth!!
Only what’s true
New cases at 7 pm ET.
Loved by thousands of detectives.
