In certain parts of the game, you can ask for a clue if you get stuck.
We decided against giving you tips throughout the game as this would have made it too easy...

If you're stuck, you should have a look at some of the materials whose significance you have so far not quite understood and select one of the following search terms.

WATCH OUT - SPOILER ALARM: Only enter the search terms if you really can't continue the game without a clue - it's only half as much fun with tips.

Start the game

Dear Private Detectives,


START
To start the game, divide all of the documents among the players. Everyone should read through their documents silently, then share all of the information with the other players (or read it aloud, for instance).

POLICE REPORT
You should all look through the police report together, since it will give you some basic information on the case.THE DETECTIVE POSTER
Hang up the poster and take notes on the different individuals.

WHAT NOW?
While you are gathering information from all of the players, several of the town's residents are going to start looking very suspicious. Write down any motives these people might have. Do they have alibis? Can you rule out any suspects? The more information you collect, the more people you will be able to rule out - until you finally piece together the whole story and can unmask the killer.

TIP
During the course of the game, it will really help you out to share documents among yourselves and read as many notes as you can. You should also put documents together if you think they belong together.
