Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Miss Scarlett - "I was in a locked-room - the Study to be exact - with my very close friend Auguste Dupin and his overly excitable...thing. If you need proof, see what that beast did to my dress; it's covered in orange fur!" Characters from which story were Miss Scarlett's companions?
2. Mrs. White - "Mr Boddy? But who...? Oh my goodness - what was he wearing? If he was found in the bathtub with only a pair of spectacles on then it is simply a coincidence!

What story must Mrs. White be referring to in order for this shocking coincidence to be true?
3. Colonel Mustard - "What, what! I was spending time with a good friend in a state of euphoric happiness. Opium, if you must know. You'll find traces in the Library and don't snarl at me about the dirt on the floor. The chap couldn't help it, don't you know. He isn't the cleanest of fellows." The Colonel was certainly with one of the best known detectives in fiction, but which story is he alluding to?
4. Captain Brown - "I was spending quality time with my grandson in the Lounge playing Ludo and discussing his schoolmates. He was nearly finished recounting the most amazing tale about a sleeping dog when the police arrived and I sent him home. I guess I'll have to work out how it ends on my own now." Which fictional detective is most likely the Captain's grandson?
5. Rev. Green - "I was in the Billiards Room challenging a close friend to a game or two of snooker and sound intellectual puzzling over a cryptic crossword.

The Reverend certainly seems defensive and keen to protect his alibi with which televised detective?
6. Mrs. Peacock - "I was spending time in the Kitchen with my favourite Belgian. We ate waffles and discussed his recent trip to Egypt.

The Professor and Watson seem to have been discussing events from which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle tale?
8. Miss Orange - "I was spending time with my two nephews, Frank and Joe, in the Ball Room. It seems they've been having a bit of trouble with their female companions, if you follow.

9. Sergeant Grey - "I admit I drew my dagger in the Hall but only to prove to my good friend CK that I'm not a nancy boy. It was only for show and if you inspect it, I'm sure you won't find a drop of blood on it."
