So I'm once again obsessed with mysteries. So I thought that this would be appropriate.
One of the most famous detective board games is Clue/Cluedo made by Parker Brothers. This challenge will be based around the characters, weapons and rooms from the original game. The challenge will run for a year, until September 1, 2014. Books may only be used once for this challenge, so you'll be reading 22 books to complete the challenge.
Clue Characters: Read a book where someone on the cover is wearing the same color clothes as the clue character. (ie a red dress, a green suit, etc. Outfit on cover does not have to be specifically a dress or suit, as long as the person on the cover is prodominately dressed in the color.) Read one book for each person.
Miss Scarlet (a red piece) Colonel Mustard (a yellow piece) Mrs. White (a white piece) Mr. Green (a green piece) Mrs. Peacock (a blue piece) Professor Plum (a purple piece)
Weapons: Read a book where either one of the following weapons is pictured on the cover, specifically named in the title, or was used to murder someone in the book. Read one book for each weapon.
Dagger/Knife Candlestick Revolver (any revolver or pistol) Rope Lead Pipe Wrench/Spanner
Rooms: Read a book with one the following rooms pictured on the cover, specifically named in the title, or featured prominately in the plot. The room doesn't have to be the main place the story takes place but if the characters just walk through the room once it isn't enough to count. If an entire scene takes place in the room, then it's enough to qualify.
