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

Why can't I find people in Sleuth Chat?

It's a good idea to stay in Sleuth Chat... maybe log in when you start your cases, people will pop in if they see someone there. If you log on and leave, everyone else will do the same :)

Sleuth Chat is a place to talk and meet the people that play Sleuth. Get to know the person behind the detective.

(It can be found via City Hall once you click the Community Sites link or www.sleuthchat.com

I'm sure where else to ask this so I'll try here. I am attempting a case in which the suspect I know to be guilty has fled. Is there any way to recover the individual outside of the faction skill underworld connections?

Make sure you are asking for Motive first, then after you have your suspect list, work on your alibi is the frequent response to the "how to solve" cases question.

Also if a case is too hard you have to drop down to the lower levels and build up your skill set to be able to tackle the tougher cases.
