Everyone loves a mystery. Everyone! Young and not so young, we all want to know, "Who Dunnit!?"

The same mental mechanism that compels us to slow down to look at a car accident, making traffic even worse, makes us love a mystery. Our brains are not only wired to solve a problem, they are specifically designed to sort out a problem and come up with a solution. The more we exercise our problem solving skills, the better they become, the more brain synapses we build.

Brain synapses are electrical impulses that tie together the collective experiences of our entire lives into an intricate, high speed supercomputer. As each new problem presents itself in our lives, we subconsciously create a new synapse of the event and consciously "boot up the brain" and ask it, "What do I do now? How do I solve this?"

Use Sleuth, the Mystery Game to:

  • Improve problem solving techniques
  • Enhance critical thinking skills
  • Strengthen deductive reasoning and research ability
  • Sharpen your attentive listening, reading comprehension, communication and leadership skills
  • Lower your weight, clear your acne, and meet your soul mate!

The initial version of Sleuth comes with 10 original, intriguing mystery stories.

Each story includes:

  • The main story written by real mystery writers, with a narrator that usually ends with “I know who . . .”
  • Four (4) to six (6) clue sentences hidden throughout the story, but made available on the Clues page to help you out.
  • The wheel of three (3) to five (5) suspects for you to spin and take a crack at solving the mystery.
  • The final solution of the story to read, if you choose the right suspect.

If you get it wrong, your friends will laugh at you, your wife will leave you and you will lose your job. Ok. . . none of that will happen, but why risk it!?!?
