	—Case Teaser

Reality Check is a case featured in Criminal Case as the eighteenth case of Stonemoor and the seventy-eighth overall. It is featured as the sixth and final case set in Smoky Heights.

Plot

After inventor Emilio Fernandez went missing, the team decided they had to protect the contest finale while searching for their missing inventor. A couple days later, on the day of the finale, the player and April then decided to investigate the Speaker's Stand to see if they could find the rogue Kayla Sistine. However when they got there, they found Kayla shot in the chest and in the head with chess pieces. They then went to inform Annelyse Pierce of the murder before they found clues to suspect mechanic Charity Steele, contest judge and architect Scott Lawrence and contest participant Wyatt Hunt. Soon after, the detectives were called by Emilio, who told them that he was hiding from the Luddites in the Smoky Gears café.

They met Emilio, who they had to suspect in Kayla's murder, before finding clues to suspect inventor's assistant Payton Fox. They then found out that Annelyse was going to shut down the contest due to the Luddite and inventor war, which revealed some motives from Scott and Wyatt, who both hated Kayla for trying to take down the advancements of technology. They then learned from a bruised Emilio that Charity Steele had attacked him, revealing Charity's allegiance to the Luddites.
