📖🏡 House Shopping Tour Reading Challenge 🏡📖
Welcome to your House Shopping Tour! You’ll go step by step to design your dream home by spending your earned points (or choosing free options). Each choice has reading tasks that must be completed before you can move to the next step.

If you’re low on points, don’t worry! There are free options in each step.
The option that costs you the most points comes with a preview of the tasks, so you know what you're buying.
The surprise task is free and - you guessed it - holds a surprise for you!

House Shopping Tour Challenge

Sign-ups are open until July 31st.
The challenge is open-ended.

The Challenge

1. Comment here to sign up and I will create a challenge thread for you.

2. This challenge is designed specifically for you to spend points but there will also be free options. You will be given different options for houses and certain rooms, which all cost you a different amount of points. Once you have chosen one of the options, I will give you a set of three tasks, of which you have to complete one.

3. You have one free skip. You can read a book that meets the general guidelines instead.

4. Please make a completion post in your thread using this template:

Investigation - Clara Donovan

Daniel: (Coolly) “Thank you for agreeing to speak with me, Miss Donovan. I understand you’ve recently taken an interest in the family inheritance?”

Clara: (Smiling, faintly amused) “If by ‘interest’ you mean what’s rightfully mine, then yes. My uncle had… a complex way of organizing his affairs. But I’m simply pursuing what’s fair.”

Daniel: “And James? Did he share your idea of fairness?”

Clara: (Her expression hardens) “James believed the world revolved around him. He thought he was the only one deserving of anything in this family. We may have disagreed, but he was a… spirited cousin.”

Daniel: “Spirited? From what I understand, your disagreements were more… contentious.”

Clara: (Sighs dramatically) “Contentious, spirited, whatever word you’d like, Mr. Hunt. James made his feelings about me quite clear. He considered me a threat. But I’m not so foolish as to kill over a will—besides, I don’t have the patience for such theatrics.”

Daniel: “And yet, you were at the mansion the night of the murder. Did you notice anything unusual about James’s behavior?”

Clara: (Hesitates) “He was tense. More than usual, I’d say. I saw him speaking to Maxwell Carter in hushed tones earlier that evening. James looked… agitated. And Maxwell, well, he looked like a cat about to pounce.”

Daniel: (Raising an eyebrow) “Maxwell and James had a complicated business relationship. Were you aware of any recent conflicts between them?”

Clara: (Shrugs, feigning disinterest) “Oh, I never bothered myself with the details. But James was often... selective in his trust. He mentioned once that Maxwell was becoming ‘more trouble than he was worth.’”

Daniel: “Yet, it sounds as if James still kept Maxwell close.”

Clara: (With a smirk) “That was James. Always thought he could control everyone and everything. But perhaps he overestimated his power this time.”

Daniel: “Perhaps. But you still stood to gain a great deal with James out of the way. It wouldn’t be out of place to consider you had a motive.”

Clara: (Laughs softly, as if amused) “I’m a realist, Mr. Hunt. There are simpler ways to resolve family disputes than murder."

Read a book that meets the general guidelines.
