Love playing armchair detective and theorizing about TV shows? Then brace yourself for the upcoming interactive series Dreamcrusher, which will give one viewer a $100,000 reward for solving the show's central mystery.

Created and directed by Gavin Michael Booth (Blumhouse short Fifteen, Last Call), Dreamcrusher invites viewers into the final hours of rising pop star Gwyn (Brittany Charlotte Smith), who's about to release her latest album, Dreamcrusher. But what should be a major career milestone takes a bloody turn when Gwyn is found dead on the day of Dreamcrusher's release. Now, it's up to detectives — and that includes the viewers! — to solve the murder and get justice for Gwyn. For the audience, that means pairing clues hidden within each episode with bonus clues planted in the real world. If you crack the case, you could win the $100,000 reward. The prize will go to the viewer who correctly guesses the killer and racks up the most points by the end of the season. If there is a tie, viewers will be entered for a draw.

Dreamcrusher is the first scripted series on free streaming service Reveel. It is also the first in the Reward anthology, which promises viewers prizes for solving on-screen mysteries. Viewers can sign up to be investigators on the Reward website.

"As someone who loves murder mystery series and true crime podcasts, it was a thrill to build the world of Dreamcrusher," Booth told Mashable in a statement. "Creating Reward meant constantly thinking outside of the box, which is where I feel most alive as a storyteller, and I believe our cast and crew have created something truly unique for a streaming audience. I'm equally thrilled that the series' release is finally around the corner and we get to share Dreamcrusher with the world!"

Check out the trailer above to learn more about what to expect from Dreamcrusher.

Dreamcrusher premieres March 18 on Reveel.
