On the poster, you will see the main hall of the
paddle wheeler. You can use that to reconstruct
what happened at the time of the crime. For the eight
suspects, there are seats where they may have sat.
You will also see the robbery victim — Mr. Nagelmacker
To his right is the seat where the perpetrator must
have sat.
At the beginning of the game, you will only have the
poster, four suspect cards (A), four suspect the the
tokens, book, decoder disk the and the available to you.
As the game continues, you will add the — either to riddle cards
be found in illustrations, or referred to in the text. Whenever this
happens, you can take the corresponding cards from the riddle card
deck “strange items” and look at them. Likewise, you may not use the
or the that are in the box until you have been four remaining suspects
explicitly told that you have found them.
Example: If you see an illustration like this,
you may take the corresponding immediately
riddle card from the deck and look at it.
Course of Play
Your goal is to work together to solve the theft as quickly as you can.
That would be easier if each suspect didn’t present you with a riddle that
you have to solve before getting any more information. As soon as the
game starts, you may look through of the book. To solve all the pages
the riddles, you must figure out a three-digit number or color code and
enter it on the decoder disk. On the outer edge of the disk, there are 10
different symbols pictured. Each symbol stands for one of the codes
you are looking for. You will have to figure out, however, which symbol
belongs to which code. Pay attention to every detail. Enter the codes
under the corresponding symbol on the decoder disk. A number will then
appear in the in the smallest wheel on the decoder disk.viewing window
