Hello all,

I'm in an A.V. Hunt, and I'm stuck in Shanghai for the last 3 days. And I play all of my cases. I've only had 3 different hints out of roughly 20 solved cases. The possible hideouts have been narrowed down to 2.
Should I risk an answer, or is it certain that a 4th clue will make it clear eventually?

Thx!

you will definitely get enough info to narrow it down to one. There can be up to 5 different clues per city

I'll pm you with the answer, I think this might be spoiler info.

Ok, I have the same problem: I'm in Delhi for 4 days. I have 4 clues, but it's not enough... What should I do? Wait for the 5th clue or should I guess?
Thx for the answers...

Same thing, Evelyn. You take a big chance if you guess, but eventually the 5th clue will come. Could be your next case, could be after 20 cases. Or more! So it's really up to you.

Well, I say - don't guess! You risk a False Accusation, plus a Failed Villain Hunt! Wait for that clue!

Failing a villain hunt does not get you a FA.

You can be stuck in towns for days waiting for the right clues. My first hunt I was stuck in Delhi for like 4 days. It's the luck of the draw and long your perserverance will last. lol Greyling was stuck in Shanghai for so long they named a street after her.

I wouldn't give up WSomerset. There's a lot of satisfcation & a real thrill in catching that first Villian. :D

Thanks Ara, I didn't realize failing a hunt didn't give FA, that's a plus, at least
