Parker Brothers Mystery Game

A murder mystery game challenges three to four detectives to determine the culprit, weapon, and room. Six suspect cards, six weapon cards, and nine room cards are shuffled by category; one card from each category is placed face down at the center of the board, while the remaining cards are dealt to the players. Players roll a die to move around the board, moving suspect and weapon tokens into rooms as they make suggestions. Other players reveal cards to disprove those suggestions when possible. The game includes miniature cards and colored player pawns. Corner rooms do not provide secret passages, and players may occupy the same space.
