Description Edit | History

One of the players takes on the role of Mr. X. His job is to move from point to point around the map of London taking taxis, buses or subways. The detectives, the remaining players acting in concert, move around similarly in an effort to move into the same space as Mr. X. But while the criminal's mode of transportation is nearly always known, his exact location is only known intermittently throughout the game.

1 Move Tracker
It is useful to keep a record of the moves made by the detectives, as well as those by Mr X (which can be revealed every time he appears), in order to help the detectives keep track of potential locations. This also acts as a check on whether Mr X has already been apprehended in case his player makes an "honest mistake". This is particularly useful when one player acts for all the detectives in a two-player game.

3 Movement matrix (Excel)
This is a matrix of all the possible moves, shown as a table with the different types of tickets required to make each move, possible starting locations, and so forth. I used to moderate forum-based games a bit back in the day and created this as an alternative to the map itself as an aid.
