Idiom Detective

Read the witness report. It describes an idiom word for word, so it sounds very odd, or it tells a short story where the idiom fits. Pick the idiom behind the case from the line-up.

Every case starts with 3 stars. Hint 1 costs a star. Hint 2 costs another, and opens only after Hint 1. Every wrong guess costs a star too. A solved case always keeps at least 1 star. After 3 wrong guesses the case goes cold, with 0 stars, and the answer is shown.

Each round has five cases, and your stars are saved on this device.
