You select the detective you wish to be (each has a unique style which gets different answers), someone will have been killed (or missing) at random so plenty of re-playability, with x weapon by x person. You go off asking questions in various tones, searching rooms for clues etc. The earlier you get it right the better your score, if you accuse someone and get it wrong that person will not speak to you again so you might miss vital clues.

Although it's a single player game it's also great fun with a group of you working out the clues.

A unique game for sure - perhaps the first "mystery" game ever made. For what its worth, I don't think I ever could figure out who the heck the guilty person was once, but it was fun trying I guess.
