On a dark winter night, wealthy and enigmatic Mr. John Q. Boddy hosted a small, but lavish, dinner party for some of his closest associates. However, the night ended in tragedy when Mr. Boddy was found dead in one of the rooms of Tudor Mansion in the early hours of the morning. The following persons of interest have been identified as suspects: |
|
|
|
• Mr. Green |
|
• Sgt. Gray |
|
• Colonel Mustard |
|
• Mrs. Peacock |
|
• Professor Plum |
|
• Mrs. White |
|
• Monsieur Brunette |
|
• Miss Peach |
|
• Madame Rose |
|
• Miss Scarlet |
|
|
|
And the following weapons were found on the premises: |
|
|
|
• Revolver |
|
• Lead Pipe |
|
• Candlestick |
|
• Horseshoe |
|
• Knife |
|
• Wrench |
|
• Rope |
|
• Poison |
|
|
|
The murder could only have occured in one of the following rooms: |
|
|
|
01. Study |
|
02. Drawing Room |
|
03. Carriage House |
|
04. Lounge |
|
05. Studio |
|
06. Fountain |
|
07. Conservatory |
|
08. Dining Room |
|
09. Ballroom |
|
10. Cloak Room |
|
11. Gazebo |
|
12. Billiard Room |
|
13. Trophy Room |
|
14. Hall |
|
|
|
The rooms are laid out as follows: |
|

|
W 05|06|07|08 E |
|
W 09|10|11|12 E |
|

|

|
The exact time of the murder is a bit uncertain, but it has been narrowed down to one of the following times: |
|
|
|
• 11:30 PM |
|
• 11:45 PM |
|
• 12:00 AM |
|
• 12:15 AM |
|
• 12:30 AM |
|
|
|
At every time the suspects and Mr. Boddy either stayed in their current room or moved to an orthogonally adjacent room (north, south, east, or west). Weapons could be moved by suspects between rooms as well. |
|
|
|
Each suspect had one of the following possible motives for killing Mr. Boddy: |
|
|
|
• Pride (4 suspects) |
|
• Greed (2 suspects) |
|
• Betrayal (3 suspects) |
|
• Ambition (1 suspect) |
|
|
|
For the murder to occur, the murderer and Mr. Boddy must have been alone in a room with at least one weapon at some point in the night. Any clue about Mr. Boddy's whereabouts should be read as "Mr. Boddy (dead or alive) ..." |
