So, you're sitting around, waiting for the next bowl game to come on, you've got a few minutes, and you're bored. What to do? How about a little bit of mystery fun? You can try your hand at the December 24th edition of Mystery Godoku. Godoku is similar to Sudoku, but uses letters instead of numbers.
Not the puzzle type? Give Mystery and Detective Fiction trivia quizzes a go. From Sherlock Holmes to Sue Grafton, there's a long listing of authors to choose from. Do you know how Sam Spade is described in The Maltese Falcon? In which novel does Spenser become a father figure to a teenage boy with ambitions of becoming a ballet dancer? What was the highest military rank Archie Goodwin achieved in World War II?
Want a little of this, a little of that? Mystery Net has mini-mysteries to solve, brain teasers, and more.
Mystery Manor has a collection of mystery-themed slider puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, memory games, blackjack, hangman, word searches and others.
If you've got a group of bored folks, check out the Games section of The List on this blog. There are online and downloadable party mystery games for a variety of tastes. Just don't forget the eggnog and fruitcake.
Your site is a great resource. Thank you for doing it!
