Deadly Allusions
(The digital editon of Dead Men Do Tell Tales)
Dead men tell no tales—or do they? Read Deadly Allusions: 60 Puzzles for the Cultured Detective, and answer that question today. When you steep yourself in these trivia-themed minute mysteries, you become the sleuth, and you don't even need to share room and board with Doctor Watson.
The object of the game is to pick up on the particular reference in the story and apply it to one of the suspects. Topics include history, literature, art, music, sports, movies, food, drink and word origins. Each whodunit features a hint (for those times when your sidekick has let you down) and an explanation of the solution.
They’re fun. They’re educational. They have dead bodies in them. Enjoy!
