THE CLUE CHALLENGE
Duration: October 1 - 31, 2013

Clue, or Cluedo outside North America, is a popular board game that matches our October theme, cozy mysteries. Mix and match the suspects, weapons, and rooms to "solve" the mystery! Each book you use for this challenge must have all three elements: the color that matches the suspect, the weapon that matches the title, and the room that matches the author.

You can reuse suspects, weapons, and rooms as long as the final answer is different in at least one element than a previous answer you've done. For example, if you use "Mrs. Peacock with the rope in the ballroom," you can't use it again, but you could use "Mrs. Peacock with the rope in the conservatory."


Suspects
The cover must contain the color of the suspect:
Miss Scarlett - Red
Colonel Mustard - Yellow
Mrs. White - White
Reverend Green - Green
Mrs. Peacock - Blue
Professor Plum - Purple

Weapons
One of the words in the title of the book must start with the same first letter as the weapon:
Candlestick - C
Knife - K
Lead Pipe - L
Revolver - R
Rope - R
Wrench - W

Rooms
One of the author's names must start with the same first letter as the room:
Kitchen - K
Ballroom - B
Conservatory - C
Dining Room - D
Lounge - L
Hall - H
Study - S
Billiard Room - B
Library - L

The plan ...
Professor Plum with the wrench in the loungedone

Rev. Green with the revolver in the study (with a little help from Pro. Plum!)done

Mrs. Peacock with the lead pipe in the library done

Fun challenge, harder than you think!

I only got one... this was harder than I thought:

[Jodi]

I found it hard too Adriana! I think I read four books this month but only one worked for this challenge. Right now I am reading World War Z which would work for the challenge but there is no way I will finish it today.


I think I have everyone updated. Please let me know if I missed you or keep adding new books you finish.

[Natalie]

Finished my fifth book:

Ms. Peacock with the lead pipe in the kitchen

Read 10/31/2013

I'm not going to get to a sixth one. I read a lot this month and had a few options for Prof. Plum but never got to them. So I will finish at 5/5.

[Jodi]

Wow! Everyone has done so well with this challenge! Way to go Natalie and Craig!

[Kara]

This was not an easy challenge, but I'm super thrilled so many people participated. Hope you all had fun!

[Jodi]

It was a great challenge. So many people completed or surpassed their goals.

[Jodi]

I am heading to bed early tonight. I will do a final update tomorrow, in case more people finish their last books before the night is over.

[Jodi]

Here is the latest update! I hope I didn't miss everyone. Congratulations to all of the people who managed to competed their goal! It was a fun challenge.
