first off, LOVE the game. one teensy little suggestion. is there some way we could "cross off" suspects as we eliminate them. Obviously we would need to be able to still ask them questions, but mybe somewhere on the case page? just a thought.
keep up the great work!! (can't wait to get some $$ so i can travel; all my suspects have been guilty lately)

I use Microsoft Word in another window and only use it to record the names of people with false/no alibis...

I use the old fashioned paper and pen, Isn't that what detectives are supposed to do? :-)

I use the paper and pen idea most of the time.
If there's no papaer and/or pen, I use excel.

I usually remember everything. I used to take detailed notes, but I have left that behind for the most part. Now I take notes if I am in a particularly sticky case or if someone in my house is doing something distracting!

I go through a lot of paper with this game. I didn't realize that I could have notepad or word (or excel I expect) open in a window at the same time. Thanks.

Real detectives still use a pen and paper guys c'mon...LOL

Well, instead of automatically, how about having a checkbox next to each suspect? That way the game doesn't help you, but it makes it easier to remember.

Thanks for the ideas everyone. I generally just keep it all in my head. Sometimes, after questioning everyone, I have to go back through them all to check on the fake/no alibis. I just think it would be cool to have a little box you could check mark as you went along. I'm jotting them down on paper now.
