Whodunit

📖 The story

Eight Sims under one roof, and one of them is hiding a secret. Staged as a parlour murder-mystery, the "culprit" must play their part without ever drawing suspicion — while you orchestrate the whole theatrical game of accusation and intrigue.

💝 The goal

Run a **murder-mystery household** where one secret "culprit" Sim must avoid suspicion while the story plays out.

🏡 Setup

🚀 Getting started

• Assemble a cast in one manor, secretly assign one Sim as the "culprit," and stage the mystery.

⌨️ Cheats to type

📋 General rules

• One Sim is secretly the "culprit"; the rest are suspects.
• The story is staged as a classic whodunit — clues, accusations, alibis.
• Roleplay the intrigue rather than relying on literal game mechanics.

✨ Specific rules

• The culprit must behave so as not to be the "obvious" suspect.
• "Victims" are removed from the story one at a time (sent away, or roleplayed as ghosts with Paranormal Stuff).
• The mystery resolves in a final reveal.

✅ What you can do

• Secretly assign one 'culprit'; roleplay clues, accusations and alibis; use ghosts (Paranormal Stuff) as 'victims' for atmosphere.
• Use `bb.moveobjects`.

⛔ What you can't do

• The culprit must behave so as not to be the obvious suspect.
• Remove 'victims' one at a time (sent away or roleplayed as ghosts); resolve with a final reveal.

🎮 If you don't own the packs

Fully base-game; Paranormal Stuff adds ghostly 'victims' for flavour.

💡 Strategy tips

• Give every suspect a motive and a secret, so the culprit doesn't stand out as the only one acting shifty.
• Use ghosts (Paranormal Stuff) as your "victims" for a genuinely spooky parlour-mystery atmosphere.
• Plant red herrings — a suspicious-but-innocent suspect keeps the reveal satisfying.

🔥 Want it harder?

• Play it "blind": randomise who the culprit is so even *you* roleplay the deduction.
• Run a series of cases with a recurring detective Sim solving each.
