## Rules questions

### How many actions does my investigator get on their turn, and what counts as an action?

During the Investigator Phase each investigator takes their turn in order and may take up to 2 actions; Move, Explore, Search, Interact, Trade and component actions all count as actions (see p.6–7).

### What happens when I try to Evade a monster — what does a successful or failed Evade do?

Evade is resolved with an app Agility test; if you pass you deal 1 damage to that enemy and may move away, and you may spend Clues to convert dice during the test (see p.14–15).

### How do skill tests work and can I spend Clues to change dice results?

Skill tests are declared and resolved through the app, which shows the difficulty and handles the roll; you may spend Clues to convert die results to try to meet the difficulty (see p.13 and p.15).

### How are Damage and Horror applied, and what do Wounded and Insane mean for my investigator?

Damage reduces health and Horror reduces sanity; reaching the character’s thresholds imposes the Wounded or Insane conditions (with their effects), and exceeding limits can eliminate an investigator from the scenario (see p.12).

### When do monsters activate and attack — during my turn or during another phase?

Monsters activate during the Mythos Phase, after investigators have taken their turns; the app runs Mythos events and monster activations (movement and attacks) in that phase (see p.10).

### Do puzzles save progress if I stop and come back later?

Yes — puzzle steps and progress are tracked by the app so you can work on puzzles over multiple visits; the app also auto-detects solves and enforces slide/code puzzle rules (see p.17–18).
