One building.
One killer.
No way out.
Every Roomicide is a different building on a different night. A sea fort with the tide coming in. A country house buried in snow. A wedding with the lane under water. Whatever the walls, the rules never change.
Every room is a page. Open a door, turn to that page, and meet whoever is standing in it. Somewhere inside is a witness who saw the killer, and somewhere is a person no clue can rule out.
The last name you cannot cross out is the one who did it.
HOW IT WORKS
No grids. No word searches. The same rules in every book, whatever the building.
Walk the building
Every room is a page, and the room number is the page number. A door tells you where it goes. Turn there, and walk in any order you like.
Find the witnesses
Seven rooms hold someone who saw the killer. Each gives you exactly one thing about him, and every one of the seven is needed.
Cross out the innocent
Everyone you meet is on your suspect list. If a single detail does not match, strike the name. Keep going until one will not fall.
Eleven ruled out. One left standing. That is the whole game.
