The Grand Pier Theatre

The leading lady lost her voice and the understudy got her big chance. The critic from the city paper never saw the final act.

The victim: a newspaper critic. Took the last square, alone with the murderer.

Biscuit’s hints

How to play
  1. One person per row and one per column, the victim included.
  2. People stand only on open squares (the map key shows which). Anything else blocks the square.
  3. Every clue is true.
  4. The victim took the last square: the row and column left over.
  5. Exactly one suspect was in the victim’s room, and that suspect did it.
