Mystery Summer Rules:
- Each teen who chooses to participate in the Murder Mystery Summer will be randomly assigned to a team color (Scarlet, Plum, Peacock, White, Mustard or Green)
- Each team will have color coded websites on which there will be password protected clues
- All password protected clues will be available on specific pages of specific books
- (Example - Team Scarlet: page 123, third paragraph, second sentence, 10th word)
- The teen librarian will always have access to the books that will house the passwords and be knowledgeable of where all the clues will be hidden for each team.
- If a team member is so inclined, they can read any of the books that hold the clues for an additional bonus of 100 pages (book list available at the beginning of summer). It will be up to the individual team member to request/obtain these books.
- If a team member thinks they have figured out the “who/what/where” of the mystery, they can submit their guess to the teen librarian who will tell them whether they are right, wrong or how many elements are right or wrong but not WHICH elements are wrong.
