Murder Mystery #1

Henry VIII has somehow been found dead in one of Dante's nine circles of Hell. It seems that one of Henry's six wives/ex-wives somehow managed to break into Hell and murder him with his own chess piece. For some reason, this murder has to be solved, and you have been assigned as the lead detective on this case, so it is your job to find out which wife/ex-wife murdered Henry, with which chess piece, and in which circle of Hell.

Six of the world's best investigators have been brought in to assist you. The investigators each have some knowledge of what was not involved in the murder, but they will only reveal this knowledge if you can demonstrate how well you know each of them.

Once you have discovered which people, weapons, and locations were not involved, you should be able to uncover the details of this murder.

Wow, so elaborate! Very nice, although I would never have guessed "treachery" unfortunately

Level 72

Dec 13, 2022

Thank you. I wondered whether Treachery would be a little too obscure compared to some of the circles that are also deadly sins. Though I did feel it would be appropriate for Henry VIII to be in the lowest circle of Hell.

I think maybe a little leeway is warranted on 'Treachery', I knew the lowest circle of hell but only guessed 'Treason' and 'Betrayal.'

Also I always called them the 'Scooby gang' but maybe that's just from other shows?

Level 72

Dec 19, 2022

'Betrayal' is often mentioned in descriptions of the lowest circle of Hell, so 'Betrayal' will now be accepted.

'Mystery Inc.' is mostly only used outside the animated shows, so 'Scooby Gang' will now be accepted.

Level 59

Please allow "Dr Who" for "The Doctor"

Level 72

Dec 19, 2022

'Dr Who' will now be accepted.

Sadly the images are broken. :(

I don’t see them as broken. If you only guess one answer in one row in one column it all appears messy.

Hopefully, this should be fixed now.

I grew up watching Scooby Doo cartoons and never knew they were called that or traveled in anything other than "a van." Please accept Scooby Doo gang or something along those lines.

And why isn't Dr. Who acceptable? It's his name.

Love the idea of Henry's wives getting a go at him, btw. Very clever idea. Enjoyed it, mostly. :0)

Level 72

Dec 19, 2022

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the quiz. I agree with you about Henry's wives haha.

You are correct; they are rarely called 'Mystery Inc.' in the cartoon, so 'Scooby Gang' will now be accepted. They have referred to the van as 'The Mystery Machine' since the first episode, and it has the name on the side of it, so I cannot accept anything else for that.

Their name is 'The Doctor', but 'Dr Who' will now be accepted.

Really creative quiz!

Can you accept Oriental express for orient express?

Level 72

Dec 28, 2022

Thank you.

'Oriental Express' will now be accepted.

That's a shame to see that the quizzes in this series can't be nominated because of the number of characters of its descriptions. They are definitely excellent, by their originality. As a fan of Hercule Poirot, I'm fulfilled.

Level 72

Jan 15, 2023

Thank you again for the kind words.

I agree it is unfortunate, I did consider reducing the length of the descriptions, but I decided I didn't want to lose the story. Perhaps in future I will make some additions to the series that have more concise descriptions.

The images aren't loading at all for me, not sure why?
