What kind of game is this?

5-Minute Mystery is a game in which you work with the other players to find a culprit. In the Museum of Everything, the valuable MacGuffin has been stolen. You are the detectives and have only a few minutes to catch the thief.

You search for hidden symbols in pictures and enter them into a rotating codex. This gives you clues. With those, you rule out suspects until only one remains. Everyone plays at the same time, so you are never left waiting.

How do you play?

First, you choose a case. A hidden culprit is drawn and all suspect cards are dealt to the players. Then the clock starts.

Search: there are five hidden symbols on the crime scene card. Everyone searches along.
Set the codex: one player turns the dials on the codex to the found symbols. If it matches the back of the card, you have earned a clue.
Use clue: you place the tile next to the culprit and see if the culprit has this item. Everyone discards suspects that do not fit.
Arrest: if you know who it is, you name the culprit.

Example: the clue is a monocle. If that does not fit the culprit, you discard all suspects with a monocle.

You win if you identify the correct culprit before time runs out.

Why is it fun?

Every case is different The cases change the rules. Sometimes there is less time or you have to catch two perpetrators.
