Our take on Blue Toad Murder Files™: The Mysteries of Little Riddle
The episodic structure gives the mystery clear investigation stages, but it also divides the story into separate chapters and pauses its progression at each cliffhanger. The focus on puzzles and questioning leaves little room for combat, free-form exploration, or broader character development.
What is Blue Toad Murder Files™: The Mysteries of Little Riddle?
Investigate the village of Little Riddle as one of four detectives from the Blue Toad Detective Agency.
Select locations on a map, question villagers, examine alibis and motives, and solve puzzles that reveal new clues. Each investigation step includes a puzzle, cross-examination, or whodunnit, with questions testing knowledge of the case. At the end of every episode, choose the suspect before the culprit is revealed. The game contains six separate episodes, more than 90 puzzles, and cooperative play for one to four players. Episodic cliffhangers connect the investigations into a continuing mystery.
