THE PUZZLES
|
The puzzles include crosswords, word searches, kriss kross puzzles, mazes, word puzzles, anagrams and lateral thinking puzzles. Solving the puzzles will allow the investigator to eliminate suspects, weapons and rooms until only the guilty items remain.
However the eight underlined puzzles are the suspects' own personal puzzles. The investigator will need to be on their guard, as the suspect who actually murdered Sir Richard will be deliberately providing a puzzle where the solution provides misinformation. After all, they don't want to be caught!
Note - Each of the non suspect puzzles has been inspired by the title of a crime novel/short story from a classic detective fiction writer!

MERRYMURDER SWEEPSTAKE
