How to use

Read or present a scenario fragment aloud to the group according to the game booklet. Players take turns asking questions to the moderator or reading role who controls additional details; answers are given as allowed by the rules (yes/no or specified clarifications). Use logical deduction to combine confirmed facts and eliminate contradictions until you reconstruct the full sequence of events. The compact scenarios permit multiple rounds in one sitting, and you can adjust the level of hinting to suit the players’ experience.

Usage recommendations

For best results, play in a quiet space where players can hear details clearly, and appoint one person to moderate answers to maintain consistent clue control. Start with easier scenarios to introduce questioning techniques, then progress to more complex stories. Encourage open discussion but preserve the format of forming hypotheses and testing them through questions to keep the deduction aspect central.
