This topic is based on experiences with former Simchases. All informations are subject to change!
If your game is beyond level 55 you may need more Sims for the multiple Sims tasks!
(I‘ll try to adjust the numbers while Season 70 is going on.)
After opening the game and tapping "Start Chase" the following episodes will start at the same time every day. To start the event check in with SimChase's hirsute host Kam Ham at the Nightclub.

Note:
The times mentioned in the game are based on 3-star-objects. Inspired Sims will complete the tasks faster!
Numbers of sims, clues or items to be found and costs may vary. (Depends on the game-level and if you have purchased the boost.)
If you want you can skip tasks at the menu or shorten tasks at the sim. Both amounts are mentioned in brackets behind the tasks. The costs at the sim will go down a while after starting the task, the lowest amount is 9 SP.
Mastery tasks:
To start these tasks it will either cost lots of simoleons or SP.
If you're hard up for cash it's probably best to do all the other tasks and then use the skip episode button to complete the episode. (See Leah’s post here. Except for episode 6 where the SP-amount for starting the task is below the one for skipping the task.
Collecting tasks:
The „Quick Complete to get extra items!“ is true, but it will cost at least 9 SP per Sim if you wait long enough. The amount will quickly exceed the costs for skipping the whole task.
