How to use

Set up the board on a flat surface and place character and weapon tokens in their starting positions according to the instructions. Shuffle and deal the cards, placing the solution cards in the secret envelope. Players take turns moving their character tokens through rooms, making suggestions about suspect, weapon and room, and asking other players to show cards that disprove the suggestion. Use these revealed and unrevealed clues to eliminate possibilities and narrow down the correct combination. When a player believes they have deduced the correct suspect, weapon and room, they make an official accusation following the game rules.

Usage recommendations

For a balanced game experience, encourage players to take notes and to ask concise questions during turns. Adjust pace by agreeing on time limits for suggestions or by rotating who begins each round. Store components in the original box and separate cards into labeled stacks to preserve pieces and simplify future play.
