If you enjoy murder mystery books and films, crime shows, real life investigations, cold cases or escape rooms, we are sure you will love this challenge.  This is your chance to be Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot  and crack these complicated but very solvable investigation that will keep you sleuthing until the very last minute – Enjoy!

Getting the Most out of Your Game:

As you begin each chapter, check on the next Victim & Suspect Profiles. Profiles also have their own link where you can enlarge crime scene photographs.  There is logic behind the series of murders and eventually you will be able to dismiss most suspects because they may only have motive for two or perhaps three of the victims.

Play through the chapters and profiles in order, as leaping ahead may spoil your enjoyment when perhaps your prime suspect is killed. When the pieces of evidence are fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle, they will clearly show you the story that ultimately turned a suspect or suspects into a killer.

PLEASE don’t tell friends and family the ending or write about the plot on Social Media – it would be like spilling the beans on ‘The Mousetrap’!
