WARNING GAME SPOILER!!

If you wish to enjoy the adventure of figuring out this game on your own, DO NOT read the rest of this post.

If you are too lazy to read through a page or two of threads to see if your question has already been asked a zillion times, then PLEASE read this first!

Welcome to Sleuth, and your new addiction.  There is no cure, so just accept it and enjoy it! Here are a few tips and hints that you should find helpful, and are among the FAQ of the newbie boards.

First, a great place to FIND ANSWERS and cool history threads about Sleuth is in the Moderator Picks Board. The Mods have picked out their favorite bits and made them easy to find. In addition to personal favorites, try looking over the Newbie FAQ. This can be found on the bottom of most pages as a tiny little grey link. Also the Help file at the upper right of most screens is packed with little useful tidbits.

HOW DO I SOLVE a case? First off…we recommend that you try the tutorial found on the front of the case page. It won’t count against your daily caseload, and it will give you an idea of how the game works. It’s not set up to walk you through the most efficient course through the game, but to show you how the game works, leaving you to find your own strategy. The following formulas will help you find your murderer.

PE+Fake/"none of your business" Alibi=guilty
WE+Fake/"none of your business" Alibi=guilty
2 WE = guilty

PE=Physical Evidence WE=Witness Evidence

Having a clammed suspect that will not give you an alibi is not the same as a fake/none alibi.

PE+WE DOES NOT = Guilty

Hi Isioni - if it's not answered in this thread, then it's not a silly question. There's a bit of info there that we're actually trying not to leak yet (I think), but what I CAN tell you is that the questions you can ask are really only useful for subscribed players with 100K experience or better.

If you're just sick and tired of the same old "I don't know anything about that", you can try asking about Pirates or Lucy. It won't change your play at all, but at least you'll get an answer!

Thank you very much crunchpatty for the fast answer! I guess I have a long way to cross until I reach 100000 exp.p., but I will try "Lucy" because I AM SICK OF THE "DON' T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT"..

This is a question that keeps coming up - I went back to July and amazingly, it appears we've left it off this, the best newbie thread ever. Anyways:

Question: what are these "sleuth themes" I keep reading about? How do I change mine? Does it affect my playing of the game in any way?

Answer (stolen from Ms. Helen Corning, who apparently stole it from someone else):

A theme is just a background, like a desktop background. You can change the "look" of your game by changing your theme. You can unlock themes as rewards, or you can buy them around town.
---
In other words it has no bearing on the game other than its look.

This is a great thread, but there is no way I can read the the top, all the way to the bottom!!! It's getting close to being a year old afterall... In the last few days stumbling around on my own I feel as though I've learned a lot, but this thread also filled in a few blanks.

And I just made this thread one more post longer!

You mean you don't want nearly a year of sleuthy sleuthy knowledge condensed into one E-Z to read thread? FINE then :P

Seriously, read the whole thing. I don't think theres anything anywhere in the game that is more useful to newer players.
