Description Edit | History

As one of the best detectives in Beijing, you'll solve one of the mysteries in the mystery book and reveal the criminal. To get clues, you must go to the different, possible witnesses and interrogate them about what they have seen. Also you may move the dragons through certain fortune cookie cards, to prevent the other detectives to manage to get there before you. When you know who the thief is, you must go to that dragon, where he hides according to "the Spy".

The most important witnesses, who you always have to visit are "the Spy" and "the Wise Man", so you must reach them as soon as possible. You know if and then who lies, when you been at the "Wise Man". "The Spy" knows below which dragon the guilty person hides. But you have to visit the other witnesses around the board to get a description, so you may deduct who the guilty one is. Has we glasses, a scar, a mustache or a hat? Then you just have to hope that you don't choose the witnesses who haven't seen anything..

The game comes with 3 implements that allow for the clues to be read. These gadgets add an attractive element for younger kids. The 3 tools are: a red filter to look at general clues, a mirror to look at the "wise man" clue, and a SPY card to decode the "Spy" clue.
