There's always something strange happening on Mysterville Island, and Charlie Holmes needs your help to crack the case! Interview the residents, analyze the evidence, find out who did it — and remember to return to the station in time for tea! Détective Charlie is a co-operative deduction game. When it is your turn, roll the die and move Detective Charlie to interview witnesses. As witnesses help you rule out suspects, you will soon find out that the last suspect may be the culprit! You think that you found them? Check the answer in the envelope. If it is the same character, great, you did it! If not, don't worry, you'll do better next time!
