Wanted criminals are entrants who appear on a list of wanted criminals in the daily bulletin. This section of the bulletin starts on day 14 but other entrants breaking the law can be detained since day 5.
Gameplay[]
The player can detain a wanted criminal if they click on the picture in the bulletin while in inspection mode and then select a photo of the entrant in their passport or click on the actual entrant standing in the booth. On smartphones, the player can post the pictures to the back wall and use them during inspection[1].
The inspector is not given a reason as to why certain people are on the wanted list (or at least the text of the bulletin is not legible to the player). Two scripted criminals, both wanted for murder, are also discussed in the news:
- Vince Lestrade is accused of possibly murdering his girlfriend in Republia. The wanted list is not yet in use on the day he arrives, but he can still be detained by matching his name with the headline in the bulletin.
- Simon Wens is an Arstotzkan serial child killer who, according to a father, killed a girl named Julia in the United Federation.
Scripted criminals[]
Wanted criminals usually appear at random times with the exception of the following:
- On day 5, the third entrant is the aforementioned Vince Lestrade
- On day 14, the first entrant is on the wanted list
- On day 14, the sixth entrant is also on the wanted list
- On day 24, Jorji Costava is on the wanted list
- On day 30, the third entrant is Simon Wens
Transcripts[]
Dialogs for procedurally generated entrants on the wanted list are generated from the following options:
Upon interrogation:

- [inspector] Maybe you should not have come.
- [inspector] We have some questions for you.
[one of the following]
- Let me through or you will regret it.
- I have nothing to say.
- I do not like your tone.
