One Minute Mysteries

"One Minute Mysteries" is a collection of fifty-five short, challenging mysteries. Join Andy Carson and Sandy Crewe as they tackle hidden clues, tricky puzzles, wacky suspects, and relentless riddles! Each mystery is under 300 words long, so you can read it in under a minute!

The game is grouped into sections of ten mysteries each. Part 2 is a parody of the Clue series. Part 4 is a parody of Nancy Drew: The Secret of Shadow Ranch. Part 5 is my favorite. It's a parody of the Encyclopedia Brown series, which provided inspiration for this game!

Surprisingly, each 300-word mystery comes with 700 words of coding, as the game has to keep track of whether the mystery has been solved before, what hints are available to the player and how many possible answers there are. I thought it was amusing that the coding is twice as long as the mysteries!
