Main Menu

The **Main Menu** is, of course, a menu that is shown when starting up the game when starting up Suspects. This page will show you what everything here does, as it's quite clustered for newer players.

## Menu

### Layout

When in the main menu, the most noticable feature is the Characters inside of their frames, which can be looked at without everything else in the menu by tapping on the "Characters" button. There is also your Gems count which shows how many Gems you have at the moment. There is also a Shop button that sends you to an in-game store to buy many things. Under the Shop is the Free Spin Wheel of Fortune button that can only be accessed if the player hasn't used up all their Spin Wheel Tokens and hasn't watches all their ads for the day. The Free Spin Wheel of Fortune allows you to obtain items at the cost of watching ads. Another feature of the main menu is the IQ Points counter below your name, and next to the image of your profile picture (the profile picture can be changed at any time, the character you favorite becomes your account's profile picture.) There's also a number beside your profile indicating your age. If it says 13-, it means the player is under 13 years old and is put in under 13 lobbies. If it says 13+, that means the player is 13 years of age or over and is put in lobbies with people who are also 13+.

There is a "PLAY" button which then sends you to a menu that allows you to pick which me you want to play between Classic Mode or Special Events. There is also a "Play with friends" button which lets you make a Private Game. There is a Gold Pass button which lets you see which tiers you've passed in the Pass, and what Quests you have.

There are Leaderboards at the top (the icon with three pillars) which show the players with the most IQ Points, both for local players who are in your country, and players who have the most IQ Points globally. There is a social media button at the top as well (a loudspeaker icon) which shows you the latest news, videos, and other things. This is the primary way of the development team communicating with it's players. There is also a Tell A Friend button (the letter icon) which lets you link another person to download the game to receive free gems after about 4 hours.

Next to the Tell A Friend button is the gear icon, which is the Settings. Which let you change what language you want other players to speak in when joining a game, and the language of the game's text. There is also a section that let's you connect to either Facebook, or ITunes/Google Play Games account (depending on your device). There are also a SFX and Music option to turn these off, The option to change the image quality, and if the game hides the room code when in a Pre-Game Lobby for streamers. There is also the option for Creator Codes which has the developers give a portion of the money when you buy something from the shop to Content Creators.

### Friends

The friends system is a social mechanic in Suspects that allows players to friend each other so then they can play with each other later instead of hoping to be in the game lobby again. Players can friend request others by tapping on a player before a match starts, and then pressing the green button that appears. Afterwards, the game will say, "Request sent," and the requested player can accept it by either tapping on your avatar and then accepting, or by accepting it on the main menu. Requested players will get a notification by the game that someone has requested to be their friend. Players can also friend request each other when the game ends, where it shows the end screen and everything you gained, lost, and who were playing. First, tap on the plus (+) icon at the top of the screen, and then press the same button, but on who you want to friend request.
