How this works -

One of the guests is murdered. One of the guests is the murderer.
One of the weapons has been used. And what room did this all happen in?

I am going write who it is in quoted text - do not cheat!

You can only ask me YES or NO questions ("Was it in the Lounge?" / "Does the victim's name begin with a vowel?" / "Is in a room with more than 5 letters in it?" / "Is the weapon metal?", etc etc)

And only ONE question per post - and can not ask another until I answer you.

You must learn:
The Murderer / The Victim / The Weapon / The Location

When you think you've figured it out - as you will see everyone else's responses in the thread - post in here "Solution"...

The situation (do not check the spoiler!)

Murderer: * Sokka / Victim:* Dragotha / Weapon: Candlestick / Location: Conservatory .....................................................

The game has officially opened.

Was the weapon one that is used for bludgeoning?

Was the weapon used by Princess Stabbity?

No.

Unclear what you're asking as there is no Princess anything?

I mean, was the weapon used for stabbing?

Yes.

Was the room full of books?

Is there a letter E in the room name?

Is the room associated with food?

Does the murderer have two syllables in their name?

Yes.

Yes.

Does the victim have a name with double letters? (CliPPy, SoGGa)?

No.

Hrrrr. Dragotha, with his immense intellect, knows (i.e. guesses) the solution!

We know that the murder weapon is the knife, because nothing else can stab.

We know that the murder room was the kitchen, because no other room has food and the letter 'E' in it.

We know that the murder victim's name does not have double-letters in it. So the victim must either be Dragotha or Influenza, and the murderer vice-versa.

Based on all this, Dragotha's guess is that Dragotha is the murderer (moo-ha-ha), and the victim is Influenza, with the Knife in the Kitchen.

Is Dragotha right?
