The show is presented by Simon Grant who plays the part of the hotel manager. The show uses a fictitious crime, which the children must solve. Most crimes have managed to relate to children in some way. There have been various crimes, from theft to sabotage, forgery to food poisoning. The children then attempt to solve the case. They however, know that the offender is one of four presented to them at the start. The children get the chance to use forensics equipment, to check fingerprints, and soil samples.
