A very special thanks to all the participants, it's been a pleasure to host this giveaway!
Original post:
Murder at the GOG Manor (Mystery Giveaway)
A group of twenty six video game villains is invited to a dinner party at the secluded GOG Manor. Before midnight, the butler is found dead, and all the guests are locked inside the manor until the killer is identified. The governor of the manor, shocked by the brutal death of his faithful and tireless butler, decides to hire the most famous detectives to discover and arrest the murderer. Strangely, you are one of them!
As a private detective, your task is to find out who committed the crime, what weapon was used, and where the murder took place. This game is similar to the board game "<span class="bold">Clue</span>" (aka "Cluedo"), but with 26 different suspects, 20 rooms and locations, and 26 weapons. The first person who gives the correct combination of "suspect, location and weapon" in a single post wins up to $15 to spend on GOG.
The murderer, his weapon and the location were randomly chosen with the help of Random.org. From time to time, I'll give you some hints to narrow down the possibilities. I've attached a map of the manor and the pictures of all the suspects and weapons. This might be very helpful for some of the upcoming hints.
Good luck everyone!
