A fair Crime

A crime in the midst of a games fair - similarities to the SPIEL Games Fair at Essen are not coincidental, but cleverly devised. Players are suspects and investigators at the same time, embody a given role and try to solve the case in several fact-finding rounds. As is common for such games, you acquaint players - you need seven or eight - with their roles by sending them their character profile with the invitation or assign roles at the start of the evening. Internet access is helpful, but not mandatory.

Some characters may lie, some must always tell the truth, but may give evasive answers; the culprit knows that he is the culprit. If you cannot find the answer - in your available information - to a question that you are asked, you must improvise, but should avoid involving other characters. After an information round with explanations of the procedure and an introduction round for all the characters, stating name, age and reason for the visit to the Fair, four clue rounds are played. At the start of each of those rounds you receive cards with information that you can use to confront other characters. Round III of those rounds is dedicated to inspecting the crime location. After the clue rounds there is a round of accusations, giving in writing by noting culprit and motive, then the solution is announced. If you named the culprit, you win; if nobody names the culprit, the culprit is the winner.

Lots of interaction, thinking, evading, keep back incriminating factors as long as possible while keeping to the specified procedure - if you manage all this, you will have an evening of challenging entertainment and fun!
