Available at CTV.ca, Criminal Minds: The Usual Suspects gives viewers a chance to investigate their way to a $10,000 grand prize.

Launching April 8 and available online for four weeks, Criminal Minds: The Usual Suspects is an interactive, criminal "investigation" at CTV.ca where players try to gather information surrounding an original case in order to build a profile of a criminal and ultimately arrest a suspect.

In the game, the seven agents from the Criminal Minds Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) have each prepared two reports for players to study.

Players must collect these reports by searching for the agents' "banners" hidden throughout CTV.ca.

Clicking on an agent's banner brings a player back to their respective page, revealing a new report and information about a suspect.

Once a player feels they have enough information, they can accuse a suspect and make an arrest.

If the player has made the correct arrest, their name will automatically be entered into a random draw to win $10,000.

Criminal Minds revolves around an elite team of FBI profilers who analyze America's most twisted criminal minds, anticipating their next moves before they strike again.

Special Agent Jason Gideon (Mandy Patinkin) is the FBI's top behavioral analyst, working with the Behavioral Analysis Unit lead by Special Agent Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson), a family man who is able to gain people's trust and unlock their secrets.
