VILLAGE SHOW IN SHOCK

MARROW
MOST FOUL

Champion vegetable ‘Gerald’ found nobbled on eve of Village Show. Women's Institute furious. Police ‘at a loss’, and also at lunch.

At 7:30 this morning, the village awoke to a scandal of almost horticultural proportions. Mrs Pemberton's prize marrow lay wilted beneath the bunting.

Everyone has an alibi. Everyone has a secret. The only reliable witness is a parrot who repeats things terribly out of context.

GERALD, pictured in happier times.

WHODUNNIT?
PERSONS OF INTEREST

Everyone has something to hide.

Three suspects. One vegetable. A remarkable number of opinions.

SUSPECT 01

Reverend Hugh Blessing

A man of the cloth. And, rather curiously, the allotment.

THE TELLQuotes scripture when cornered
Asleep by ten, Inspector. Proverbs has a great deal to say about sloth, but nothing against an early night.
SUSPECT 02

Mrs Dorothy Pemberton

WI chair. Eleven-time champion. Gerald's devoted grower.

THE TELLThat teacup keeps rattling
Gerald was family. Well, Gerald was a vegetable. But he was family-sized.
SUSPECT 03

Colonel Rupert Fawcett-Smythe

Retired, distinguished, and still discussing the hedge dispute of 1987.

THE TELLTwitching moustache
The war? No, no. The hedge. Entirely different campaign.
YOUR INVESTIGATION, INSPECTOR

How to catch a fibber

Four steps. Twenty sips. Try not to accuse the parrot.

  1. 1

    Search the village

    Poke around the show tent, vicarage and wherever gossip gathers.

  2. 2

    Question suspects

    Ask what you like, in your own words. They'll answer in character.

  3. 3

    Watch for tells

    Notice the little giveaways. Then decide what they really mean.

  4. 4

    Make your accusation

    Name the culprit, motive and clue before the tea goes cold.

A DETECTIVE'S HANDBOOK

The village is yours to untangle.

CLUE 01

Ask anything

Type your own questions. Suspects reply out loud in their own voices.

CLUE 02

Spot the tells

Sweat, teacups, twitching moustaches. A tell is a clue, though hardly a confession.

CLUE 03

Gossip spreads

Repeat what someone said. Invent a little bluff. Watch word travel round the village.

CLUE 04

Manners matter

Charm them and they overshare. Be rude and the shutters come down.

CLUE 05

Twenty sips of tea

The clock is a pot of tea. Solve the mystery before it goes cold.

CLUE 06

Make your case

Name the culprit, motive and key clue. Then share your detective's result card.

STRICTLY BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR PHONE

Private by design.

Suspects are voiced by AI running on your phone. Nothing you type leaves it. No account, no tracking, and the mystery works in airplane mode.

Read the plain-English privacy policy
A LITTLE SOMETHING TO BRAG ABOUT

Case closed. Kettle on.

Name the culprit, motive and key clue, then share the result with your fellow detectives. Keeping the solution to yourself is, of course, permitted.
