			Carefully insert the two cards you have left into the card holder behind your hiding screen so only you can see them!

			After all players have selected their cards, insert the three cards you picked earlier into the external card holder on the screen of the player to your left. Make sure that
			player does not see which cards you inserted in their card holder! Place the screen so that everyone except that player can see them.

			Note: You will now have received a set of cards from the player to your right, including one Person, one Location, and one Weapon, attached to the outside of your screen so you can’t see
			them. Your goal is to guess the identity of these cards.

New page

== Objective ==

To be the first player to solve your own Mystery, correctly identifying the '''Person''',
'''Location''', and '''Weapon'''.

== Setup ==

Each player will received '''one Person''', '''one Location''', and '''one Weapon card''' in addition of two random cards. You must choose exactly '''one Person''', '''one Location''', and '''one Weapon card''', and place them face down in front of you. The two remaining cards are kept secret in front of you.

'''Playing Hint''': You can choose any combination, but try to avoid three of the same suit

== Player's Turn ==

At the beginning of your turn, if you have no Magnifying Glasses, take one from the general supply. If the supply is empty, take one from the player of your choice instead.

Next, “spend” all your Magnifying Glasses. Each Magnifying Glass spent lets you choose one of the following actions. You can take these actions in any order you choose, and you may repeat the same action more than once (exception: Make an
Accusation, see below). Once you’ve spent all your Magnifying Glasses your turn is over and it’s the next player’s turn.

== The Actions ==

=== Question a Witness ===

Give your Magnifying Glass to the player of your choice, then ask that player how many cards they see that are of one suit or one category.

The player you ask '''must answer truthfully''' (no bluffing is allowed!), based on everything they can see: all the cards on the screens in front of the other players and the two cards behind their screen

=== Consult the Secret Informant ===

Give your Magnifying Glass to the player who has no Magnifying Glasses (if more than one, the tied player closest to you, counting clockwise; if all players have at least one Magnifying Glass, discard it to the general supply instead), then choose '''one''' of the face down Secret Informant cards, look at it secretly, then put it back where it was, face down.

'''Note''': This option is not available in a six-player game.

=== Make an Accusation ===

Give your Magnifying Glass to the player who has no Magnifying Glasses (if more than one, the tied player closest to you, counting clockwise; if all players have at least one Magnifying Glass, discard it to the general supply instead), then '''try to solve your mystery!''' Name '''one Person''', '''one Location''', and '''one Weapon''' (for example: “It was the Butcher in the Park with the Sword!”). You cannot make an accusation that includes cards you can see (either behind your screen or on other players’ screens).

* If your accusation is '''correct''', you have solved your mystery and '''you win the game!'''
* If you're '''wrong'', they just tell you! '''Your turn''' is over: discard any Magnifying Glasses you have left to the general supply.
