Has anyone played the "Red Queen" featured mystery if playing in the London module? Because I want to know if there is a real-time puzzle in this.

Ok well don't worry about the 'come back at 6am', deal. You don't have to sit up til Sleuth 6am waiting to complete the mystery. That's just a signal that you have to go through a few more stages of the actual case ie interview a specific suspect(s) / townspeople, and then once you have done that you usually get a cutaway scene saying 'I noticed it was 6am and it was time to go back and see etc etc' or the cutaway scene will just take you there automatically.

[correct me if I'm wrong here folks... I really only remember Doomsayers and that's what happens in a couple of them.]

I haven't played this specific FM, but I've never been aware of any FM working in 'real time' in terms of playing Sleuth at a 'specific time' for the case to move on.

I suspect you're just not doing something in the right order, which isn't let you move on.

Believe me, I tried everything! I've only gotten 4 suspects, none of whom told me much. 3/4 had no alibis so there was no checking and I checked the one that did.

I talked to all the townspeople-- when I ask if they heard anything about the case all I get is "sorry, i haven't heard anything about that." i followed the trail about the evidence and who I was supposed to interview.

I don't know what I could possibly be missing. The only other thing was that one of the characters, the victims' Financier, said he was involved in La Cosa Nostra. Since I have a negative rating with LCN I get told the same message when I try to seek an audience in the real estate center. I'd also presume that the FM would have to be rigged so you can talk to the Don no matter what your standing with La Cosa Nostra is, because it's unfair if you have a negative rating then can't progress with the story.

Otherwise, I played through this case 6 times and keep getting dead ended at that part. I boredly hit every shop in town not being told anything new and ran through the list of suspects again and again still to no avail. This FM is bugged or something.

Well your Faction rating has no effect on FM's.

(oh and you don't have to have research to use research in FM's in case you haven't tried that option.)

But I think it might be time to try another FM :) Sometimes you just have to know when to walk away. Come back to it in a week or so with fresh perspective.

Indeed...maybe it's a bugfix or I might have to wait til I get the right hints! :)

People have completed Red Queen, but it's notoriously difficult. I myself gave up after two tries, but I am very impatient.

7 tries! And did you also get stuck at the part where you've interviewed everyone, been everywhere, but Guido tells you to "meet Felicia at 6" and it never happens? I think there's a glitch in the actual programming.

No, I've met Felicia at 6, that's not where I got hung up.

So how does it happen??? What do you have to do? I really need a blatant hint here because I kept wandering around and was hitting all dead ends.

Go to the city hall. click on hall of records. click on research case. read what it says and then go back and click on each of your suspects and the shops again. It should trigger the scene somewhere. or maybe your detective is just not experienced enough to do this one yet.

From what I know Mama Terra experience has nothing do if you can get the twist or not.
