Could we have a Mystery or Investigation tag? Intrigue is the closest but that's not quite the same as a detective or police procedural game.

jase wanted to keep it to 24 genres to avoid change to the interface, and on that basis, the last time we reviewed the list t'was he himself who suggested:

"How about merging Spy and Mystery to just "Intrigue"?  Not perfect, I know, but it gives us 1 more category to play with."

There's probably more in this discussion thread than you wanted to know about the history of genres (aka catagories aka tags) - link to a message in another game

The tags  are helpful, and its like  word association games. You can  more or less take a guess.

 I bey you could find  Mystery  and such, even under Contemporary , or even SCI-FI, depending on how the GM  wanted to list it.

 You could even  put it in the first line  of  your  ad  and RTG. Folks will find it, if  they know what they want.
