How to play Clues by Sam

  1. Read the starting clues and examine the people and positions they refer to.
  2. Select someone whose status follows from the evidence, then mark them innocent or criminal.
  3. Use any newly revealed clue to continue until everyone is identified. The game prevents unsupported guesses.

Separating guilt from the truth of a clue

Everyone tells the truth

A criminal can give a reliable clue. Being guilty does not make the person a liar, and a profession alone does not prove innocence.

Why try Clues by Sam?

Choose this for a chain of small deductions. Each justified identification can reveal another clue, turning a crowded board into a case you can reason through step by step.
