WELP, I'm already stumped. I think I may know the weapon though. I'll sleep on it.

[cara]

Wtf lmaooo I have no idea. I'm going to have to re-read this when I'm not half asleep.

I'm 86% sure it's Joe because he's just too damn into this to NOT be a murderer.

Collecting clues....  

[Bones]

ok found 2 clues but for life of me cant figure them out but having fun still

[Swar]

I don't know why but your display pic keeps confusing me and I keep thinking you're @Romy

I'll remember to turn the lights on next time I take a picture I only realized how dark it is on the day after

[Eefi]

While other people have almost solved it, I just found my first hint. Whee~

[Kat]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is the murderer definitely one of the guests and not some random member on codex? thanks:D

It's not stupid. But yes. The only possible murderers are on the guest list.

@Coops Where my next clue at?

 

Yeah would be nice not sure what to else to do to images besides layers mask/photo to text anything else to find stuff in the images?

 

Also low-key feel kinda like a stalker reading old posts looking for other clues/spoilers especially because I'm new to the forum and end up checking out like old ass images/stories a bunch of members here have written about their lives. Well back to searching for clues...

Well, there's a good amount to figure out from those images

Since people seem to be struggling with some clues that are already floating around, I will give a couple hints about them. In addition, I am releasing the final set of clues. That said, I will give hints about already released hints, if no one has won (@Sweeney ) and people are still struggling. So tagging everyone for posterity: @Nymh @Hikimaru @Swar @Rocket @Ladida @Kaddict @Amarillo @Karla @Susie @Trapezeo @Adam @jaredyne @Eefi @Bones @Silentqueen @Cnourinha @Trichomes @Amethyst @cara @Chalsey @Cannabis @Kat @ghoul123 @Generic @wikkles @Padme @Fawktastix

Hints about first set of clues

Spoiler

There are 8 animals from the children's picture book. The animals and the very first clue of the game are related. 

The black cardstock with holes is a graphic cipher. You need the key to spell out the answer.

 

Here is the start to the last set of clues

Spoiler

The guests regroup in the main hall and the host, Coops, announces that she discovered a little black leather book with blood on it. The cover of the book has an imprint that reads please playfair. But the book's contents are indecipherable. Each present page has two letters on it. However, the book is missing a few pages. Boy, the murderer must love ripping pages out. It's clear there were 13 pages because on the last page there is the 12 in the bottom corner and there are frayed edges of a page after the 12th page.

 

Present pages read (sub-script indicates the page number):

YL₂

MU₃

IR₅

RC₁₀

BL₁₁

CL₁₂

 

It seems the back of the book is stained. Someone must have spilled water on the 13th page and the ink ran through staining the back cover. Or maybe someone was chopping onions and they cried. The back cover shows the corner of a box.

 

What could this mean? You might want to start looking for those pages...

[Kat]

Welp. Wish I would have waited to guess xD

[Swar]

I got all of the clues, now I just need to figure this out...

[Coops]

Welp. Wish I would have waited to guess xD

Since this is the first time running this, I kind of want feedback as I host this, do you think the 24 hour rule is too much? Idk, I feel like it might be and I'm willing to adjust the contest rules and stuff.

What does everyone else think about the 24 hour guessing timer?

I feel like it could be shortened, maybe even up to 12 hours?

Aaaaaand I'm done  (inb4 I'm not the first one LOL)

[Cannabis]

Smart... I guess I'll lock myself in my room forever and sleep with an eye open.

 

 

This isn't exactly what I wanted but it'll do lmao

 

Scared but also kind of aroused

 

On another note I suck at puzzles I have no clue

[cara]

I've found random clues, jotted them down in a nonsensical manner, and I am having so much fun even though I'm never going to get this.

[Cnourinha]

Ow I was travelling, so I'm completely lost. Better read everything now

[Sweeney]

Aaaaaand I'm done  (inb4 I'm not the first one LOL)

You beat me I wasn't on when it went up, and I've not heard of that cipher before xD

[Rocket]

Yup definitely don't have this...


@Coops for those of us who are completely stupid, when you announce the winner will you breakdown what all the clues were, how they tied together to get the murderer, weapon, room?

For me personally that will help understand how the game works so I can better understand for next time. I'm sure I'm not alone in this lol.

Hahaha good timing, and neither had I, my good friend google quickly showed me its existence
