their own favourite ride and snack, but they are still willing to change around
to try everyone else's favourites. WHICH GUEST WAS
ON WHICH RIDE? EATING WHAT SNACK??
Chapter 4 - Who's
Who?
Professor Plum invents a miracle perfume that with one whiff improves the
memory, but it has the opposite effect and makes him so forgetful that he thinks
he is Mr. Green. Unfortunately, the aroma drifts round the Mansion making
everybody think they are someone else. Mr. Boddy returns from a shopping trip to
discover everyone thinks that they are someone else.
WHO WAS WHO??
Chapter 5 - Sundae
School
Mr. Boddy suggests a contest to see who can make the most unusual ice cream
sundae with a prize of a Jade ice cream come for the winner. Using toppings such
as chilli peppers, beans, cheese, potato chips, sour cream and chives the guests
set to work. But while the creating and judging is going on the Jade cone is
stolen and passed from guest to guest. WHO WAS THE
LAST TO STEAL THE CONE??
Chapter 6 - Money
May I?
Mr. Boddy suggests a game called Money May I. In it, he lines the guests up and
gives commands like hop on one foot but they must only do it if he starts the
sentence with "Money says". If not they must ignore the command or be
disqualified. The only variation is that if he doesn't say "Money says" before
the command, a guest can ask "Money May I?" If Mr. Boddy replies "Money Says
Yes" the guest must obey the command but if Boddy replies "Not For My Money" the
guest must not follow the command or he will be out.
WHO WON THE GAME??

Chapter 9 - A Sour
Note
With the central heating broken the guests are all snuggling up in different
colour quilts. Mr. Boddy suggests playing some instruments to take their mind
off the cold. Colonel Mustard says he can play any instrument but everyone is
getting tired of Mustard's boasting and continually challenging everyone to
duels. Later, a guest kills Colonel Mustard before realising that everyone has
changed quilts and the wrong person has been killed.
WHO SHOT THE WRONG GUEST??
Chapter 10 - Danger
After Dark
Miss Scarlet starts a rumour saying that Mr. Boddy told her that Mrs. White was
a dreadful housekeeper. This leads to other guests starting their own rumours.
Eventually, there is a number of rumours flying about although each rumour is
only believed by certain people. Soon, one of the guests who believed the fourth
rumour seeks out Mr. Boddy blaming him for all the rumours and kills him.
WHO KILLED MR. BODDY? WHERE? WITH WHICH WEAPON??
