How do I know if I solved the mystery correctly?

Each challenge card has a corresponding solution printed on the back. Once you believe you have identified the culprit, compare your answer to the solution.

Troubleshooting

Cannot determine the correct placement of dogs/tokens.

Re-read the challenge card and all clues very carefully. Ensure you are not making assumptions not stated in the clues. Some solutions require multiple steps of deduction.

Challenge seems impossible or has no solution.

Verify that you are using the correct challenge card and have correctly interpreted all clues. Check the provided solution on the back of the card only after a thorough attempt. If you believe there's an error, re-examine your placement strategy.

Dog tokens or crime tokens are difficult to place on stands.

Ensure the token is aligned correctly with the stand's slot. Apply gentle, steady pressure. If a stand appears damaged, contact the manufacturer.
