Scene

A book club's routine gathering where members are debating the latest bestseller — until someone opens a book that wasn't on the reading list, and finds something far worse than a spoiler inside. (Unofficial scene description for immersion)

Key Mechanic

Basic suspect placement, reading clue cards, and understanding row/column constraints.

Suspects & Clues

Cameron

She was on a carpet.

Darlene

Hint

Start with the clue cards that mention specific objects or locations — they give you the most certainty.

How to Play
