Equipment
To play the game, you need a few of the stories available.

Procedure
The trainer presents (reads) the story and explains the rules of the game. Then, the other players (at least those who don't know the riddle and its solution) may ask questions to the trainer. However, the trainer may only answer with "yes" or "no" (or "invalid question"). Using those hints, the participants have to solve the mystery of the criminal case, so identify the murderer or find out why the persion died.
