Whodunnit Manor

Requirements

To play you need:

• An internet capable computer, preferably with a conventional screen. The software will also work over a speaking connection but many mobile 'phone screens are too small.
• You must have an internet connection. Dial-up is sufficient.
• Any recent browser (www program) will do. The game does not use javascript or any client-side processing. It can, at a pinch, be played without pictures.
• Ideally you will be the only player using your computer. If you must share you may find it wise to clear your history and log-in afresh every time you make a move and you may not be able to use email without other players seeing your secrets.
• A printer is useful but not essential.
• Time: the game is best played slowly, allowing time for players to talk between moves. For many the ideal will be one or two moves per day. One move per week has been tried, successfully, with players who meet weekly for another purpose.
• Healthy scepticism.
• Basic cunning.
• And a steady nerve.
