Mystery Puzzle SPOILER #42

Warning! This post contains spoilers to a series of mystery puzzles.

This week's puzzles is Clue Mystery Puzzle - Killers in the Kitchen.  The solution to the puzzle is NOT on the box. It's a 500 piece puzzle based on the popular Clue characters and their zany antics. 

The story is interesting and each character makes a statement of their innocence at the end of the storybook.  Your job is to see who is telling the truth and who is lying.  The solution to the puzzle will lead you to the correct concussion.  The puzzle also comes with a red magnifying glass that reveals the solution on the last page of the booklet.


Final puzzle solution.  The image is taken from Reddit.

Mystery Puzzle SPOILER #39-41


Warning! This post contains spoilers to a series of mystery puzzles.

This week's puzzles are Murder, She Wrote Mystery Puzzle series.  The solutions to the puzzles are NOT on the box. They are either 500-750 piece puzzles based on the publisher.  The series was also adapted into a computer game that you could listen to the voice actors and then solve the puzzle on your computer.

The story is interesting as most Jessica Fletcher stories are.  There are subtle clues in the story and several in each puzzle picture that lead you to the concussion.

I solved all four via the computer games and "The Art of Murder" puzzle in person.

Find a download and description of the "Murder, She Wrote: Mystery Jigsaw Puzzles Download (1996 Puzzle Game)"




To see a play through of the "The Unconventional Murders" here is video:

The "Recipe for Murder" puzzles are slightly different between the actual puzzle and the video game.  Both have the same solution.

Mystery Puzzle SPOILER #35

Warning! This post contains spoilers to a mystery puzzle.

This week's puzzle is "CSI: Miami. The Crush"  The solution to the puzzle is NOT on the box.

The storybook has several letter substitution ciphers that clued in the puzzle such as 2=A, %=Q, etc. It takes longer to go through the story and doesn't really add that much overall.  The rest of the puzzle shows different areas of evidence - blood splatter, bullet, fingerprint, etc.  The central picture shows the murder scene.

The solution was clear, fun, and made (TV) sense.
