How it plays

The familiar suspects have gathered at a hotel, and one of them is after Boddy's blackmail files. Working as a team, you crack puzzles that unlock new clues, and every solution adds to the board, which builds upward to reveal further rooms and details. Gather evidence as you go, escape the hotel, and then make your accusation: who, where, and with what.

This is a one-time solve, so we suggest saving it for an evening when everyone can give it a full ninety minutes. It plays with up to six people from age ten, or alone if you want the whole case to yourself. Difficulty rating: three.
