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

manda try dropping down a level or two, it will be easier for you to solve cases and it will build your money up faster, as you'll be bribing less.

If you're still having trouble, you might consider subscribing to join an agency. Other agents can help you out with cases you may be stuck on, and help you move up in experience faster.

If the client is the killer you get no money reward, but you get the Xp, if i'm worng on the getting Xp plz tell me, cause i don't want to steer anyone wrong. Also there are I think at least two witnesses one is telling about the guilty suspect the other is steering you wrong.

You're right about the xp, but there isn't always two pieces of witness evidence, sometimes its more. There will, however, always be two pieces of witness evidence against the guilty person.
