...the game needs a random occurrence...i would suggest that
the detective gets shot in one of the breaks in the mystery and
that he has to go to the hospital and thus he cannot finish the case.
this randomness would apply to all types of cases. it would only
happen perhaps one out of 20 times. it would help smaller firms
who compete against the very large firms and would add some un-
certainty to the game...

I dont know about anyone else, but i can think of at least a few instances where our "big" agency got beaten on hunts by little guys. Plus, if you think ur losing out, then why not create a bigger agency?

I like that last idea, white bear.

My 2 cents: I like the prize idea but knowing about it by the color of a door just doesn't seem "realistic" in the Sleuth world. That would mean we detectives would have some sort of prescient ability or the ability to see through doors.

Also, if there were a prize behind a door and we pick the lock (something I can't do yet, btw) and take it, doesn't that mean we're stealing?

With that said, I don't know how a prize feature could be integrated... A Lottery? Did they have them back then? Just thinking out loud....

Yes, I can see how it would save questions. Unfortunately, my skill point earning has recently reduced to an amazingly slow crawl. I feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I can't play the harder mysteries for the higher points because I don't have the skills to unclam or ID PE. So I have to stick to the easier ones which don't give a lot of points.

And yes, I know, subscribing would allow me into an Agency where I can get help solving cases and I'd be able to play more cases per day......
