How to Play:
Pre-game is the most of the work. Decide how the murder happened, hide all the clues that tell
what did or didn’t happen, and make a list of hints to help the teens find the clues. Have a
master list with your or a Youth Worker to give additional help to teams when needed. Decide
ahead of time how many teams you’ll have.
The Rules are simple:
1. Find the Clues (And leave them where you find them)
2. Solve the Murder (You only get 3 guesses)
The first team to find out the correct Suspect, Weapon, and Place will win.
