zxoDetective GrimoireRoquefort; Zoolander; Pizza; Mr. Roboto; Weebl and Bob songs;

That's right, today's category is: Things that are cheesy but I like 'em anyway. Well, add one more thing to that list, because the Super Flash Bros have released their latest game: a point-and-click carnival murder mystery!

You play the title character, Detective Grimoire a hatless (but not hapless) crime-solver assigned to track down the murderer of Hugh Everton, ineffective caretaker of the carnival funhouse. The suspects are all fellow carnival workers and include a clown, a costumed entertainer, a janitor, a mechanic, the games stall clerk, and the carnival head honcho himself. You'll have to question each one of them to unearth details about the crime scene, as well as the ongoing relationships between all the carnival workers. Additionally, you'll need to hunt for clues at various locations throughout the carnival. When you're in the presence of a suspect, click on a clue from your database and they'll tell you if they know anything about it.

You start out considering everyone a suspect and only removing them from the list when you discover information that proves their innocence. By the process of elimination, you'll narrow your list down to just one suspect. However, identifying the killer is only part of the game—you still have to piece together details like the motive, the murder weapon, and explanations for other clues that you find. Put together the whole story correctly and you'll see the perp behind bars!

Analysis: As I said before, Detective Grimoire contains a higher-than-average level of cheese. Come on, a disgruntled clown and a costumed entertainer who hates kids? Now pile on some smoky private-eye music, corny dialogue, and a motley assortment of suspicious alibis, slap it on the griddle and you've got yourself a mighty fine grilled cheese (and red herring) sandwich.

About the only cheesy element missing is the obligatory twist ending—it's pretty easy to see who the murderer is after playing the game about halfway through. After that, it's just a matter of clearing everyone else and piecing together the events of the previous night.

Because the game was five months in the making, the Bros were clearly able to work out all the details. There really aren't any major issues with bugs, and the user interface is set up well—easily navigable and self-explanatory. There's even a button to save your progress, although you probably won't need it. My only beef was that I was expecting to clear suspects by using clues and logic, a la Sherlock Holmes. Instead, you press questions onto them until they break down and admit whatever it is they were hiding—usually just some embarrassing detail having nothing to do with the case. Contrived? Extremely. But what good cheesy mystery isn't? And besides, you'll put your deduction skills to work when trying to piece together the story.

So go grab a hunk of Camembert and play Detective Grimoire.

Play Detective Grimoire

I really enjoyed this game, and I loved the dance sequence at the end. I guess my only complaint is that a lot of times, I felt that people were only proven innocent because I had gotten all the information I needed out of them, not because they had actually provided information as to why they were innocent.

Still though, a very enjoyable game, well animated, and a nice way to spend 20-30 minutes.

WOO LOVED IT. But I won't play it at night tho... I'm gonna play it again from where I stopped.

Boy... I got well and truly stuck, and THEN figured out how to present clues to suspects.
Very important skill, that!

Were really 60 minutes full of joy!

However personally I prefer to Columbo-style detective, and would love for once to play a columbo detective where your succeed by playing the absent-minded, while gathering clues and always talking with the one suspect until you got him... and on your way out.. oh I just have one more question! :-)

Emily - Leave your mouse on his right eye (to your left) so he's looking away from the suspect - they'll have a short conversation - the screen will flash and show a closeup of our hatless hero - when that happens it's safe to move your mouse quickly (not insanely quickly, just with decent speed) to the right - took me a few tries to get it down.

Jon MW: O yes - I too somehow overlooked that whole "show them the evidence" thing - was a bit frustrating, but fortunately the order of gameplay allowed you to do all that after your first round of questioning - could've stalled out the game completely if it was needed for earlier progression

Note to SFB: About the clues - You may want to provide a more blatant prompt for a previously unused action. You used phrases like "I should ask her about..." & it seemed like there was just more questioning to do. (Perhaps "I should bring this ---- to her attention." would have been clearer?) I completely missed out on using the clues (other than collecting them) until I'd run out of other options. Still, thanks for a very fun game! It was clear that a lot of time and work went in to it!

I didn't need many clues to figure THIS one out!

The oil spill, and the blue colored wrench was all I needed. What I don't understand was the old stuffed animal. It wasn't a very helpful object I could assume.
I also found it difficult to hear that maddy, a young, hard working girl, had an murderer for an uncle... depressing.

Very easy but enjoyable game. The ending bit where they check and see if you were paying attention was a nice aspect of the gameplay.

Wow, loved that game, reminded me of the ol' lucusarts games, although not quite the same.

Highly enjoyable, finished it all without any help, and loved some of the chats (grimore's hat).

I also didn't find one of the clues... and most weren't needed..interesting

Great game, now i want another...

Wow... This was an awesome game. I really hope that it gets a sequel.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. Brilliant stuff. I finished it in an hour with no help (excluding the tab button cause I got bored of using the mouse lol). Anyone know any other flash games like this? After completing it the first time, I went back to it and finished parts I missed the first time. I didn't know you could

drag the items out of the bin and the boards from the fun house lol, until my second time through.

The first time the items showed up anyway at the end of the game.

Thoroughly enjoyable. I recommend this game to everyone, unless you are below the age of 12 and/or easily scared by carnival music :P

I am missing one clue and i would really apreciate it if someone put a list of clues up or a screen shot of them or something. These are the clues i have so far... could someone please post the last one?!?!?

Old Toys, Books, Green Marker, "To Do List", Weapon, Rag, Red Nose, Oil, Marks On Floor, Broken Mirror, Broken Shards, Wire Cutters, Drawing, Writing, Cut Wire, Pen Pot, and Calender

This game has to be one of the best detective flash games ever! I just love detective games! The dancing att the end made it seem it was worth it!
I love murder detective cases rather than lawyer ones like Phoniex Wright. Which I think you put a mix in!
If anybody knows any othor detective games, contact me on my e-mail or tell me here! I already know perfect summit and this one.

This fun puzzle game felt like Phoniex Wright and Clue{the detective gameboard}
mixed together!

I will write spoilers next:

The mechanic(Pete)

Killed Hugh

with a Broken glass shard

in the Hall of Mirrors!

^^^^
Those are references to clue by doing what they did except just for this game.
I knew

Pete

did it exactly when the Boss said he went out for lunch and the wires from the cooler were cut. And wen Jery said the wire cutter was in the bin.

Oh and clowns are always a main suspect in these kinds of games, but they always seem to be innocent in the end and the guy whos ubexpected to be the killer is well... the killer.

Keep it up super flash bros!

Charles Ringer July 22, 2007 2:58 AM

As soon as I found

the wire cutters in the rubbish bin and noted the cut wire behind the water cooler, it all fell into place and I knew it had been Peter that had stabbed Hugh using the remainder of the funhouse mirror. Though... that mysterious young girl kept bouncing around in the back of my mind. She must have had something to do with the lot somehow, but how? And I think the stuffed animals were merely there for flavour. Haven't we all at one point or another seethed over the fact that we shell out hard-earned money in order to possibly obtain some small novelty that cost in all likelihood a rather small fraction of what we paid?

Actually, you don't need all of the clues. If you already know for sure who murdered the victim, you take the test. If you're right, you win! Ta-dah! I hope they make a sequal, because this game was farely easy, and I like to be challenged with things. Anyway, I enjoyed the program very much! ;P

Out of interest to everybody, the toys are just shameful advertising for their other works, (dims always doing it), and in reference to the girl, she was just a plot additive that was supposed to be bigger, (a little boy was to go with her), but they made her all mysterious for a little spicing up.

i say at the end with dancing te cleaner and mandy should hav kissed :) would be a very ncie ending

Yeah, this is an excellent game! :-D

One complaint I did have is

it's way too easy to figure out who did it, I figured it out about a third of the way through

and

it's a bit hard to figure out how to prove everyone else innocent, I frequently had no idea what I'd done to change the red to green.

Imagine the egg on my face when after I'd beaten it (yes, I beat it without any hints), I checked the hints and found out

that you don't need to prove all five of the others innocent, you just have to go back to the car park and take the test once you know who did it and how. They should have made that clearer in the instructions.

I almost slipped up on

one of the questions in the final exam, where you are asked why he wrapped the weapon in the rag, I almost clicked the wrong option before I saw the one below it,

but I caught myself in time and clicked the right one. Voila!
Anyway, still a great game in spite of the flaws. I especially liked

the revelation that the park isn't actually run down, it's just designed to look that way,

that was great, but I would have liked to see

the cleaning guy and Mandy get together at the end,

that would have made it absolutely perfect.

woo! I finished it. (by using a walkthrough i confess)Here it is

Pete the mechanic done it

Now you know who done it.
But you don't have to prove the other five innocent just go back to the car park and take the test. I think.

Pete is the murderer The weopen is the glass shard. So he would be called into fix it. In the toilet cubicle. To frame Charles Ringer. Because Pete olied the door before going in. Pete wiped up more oil. All of the above

Woo! You have now completed it good for u! Now dance!

I thought this game was really good (i rate it 10/10)
i thought the best bit was the ending when all the lil people were dancing (10/10 for dancing)
the person who did it was...

Pete the mechanic

(i confess i used the walkthrough for the middle :s)
This game was great and i hope (HOPE) THAT THEY MAKE MORE GAMES LIKE THIS.
another spoiler

No spoiler i just made you click

this is a real spoiler though

not really,i just loved the lil people dancing at the end they were soo cute =D

I think my favorite line is:

GRIMOIRE: "So, have you been manager of the fairground long?"
COILS: "Yeah. As long as I can remember."
GRIMOIRE: (So... about 5 minutes then?)

That was just plain funny.

Um, Team Army, why did you post the walkthrough that had already been posted, but without the spoiler tags?


[Edit: Thanks, Sylocat. I've deleted the comment. I don't understand why some people do that. =/ -Jay]

About the murderer:

Pete murdered Hugh because he want Mandy to be boss? Pete is a murderer but in a way, he's not evil (in a way....)

Reply

I actually like the sounds the people make when they talk (like "hmmm" or "hahaha" or "ahem"..). I reckon it creates a warmth to the game (because I was playing this game at night and I seroiusly got freaked by the music outside the Funground and in the toilet. And although the game was not really hard, it was still pretty interesting which made it good, i rate it 8/10!

Hi! This is my first time posting, so sorry if the spoiler tags don't work! Anyway... My last to suspects are

The clown

AND

Pete! (I know it's pete)

But i cant prove the clown innocent!! If you know, please help me.

Thanks you mystery fans! :)

I think the old toys were for an action that was removed from the game. When I watched the making of the game sequence it said something about a boy and giving a toy to him so he would talk? The boy was taken out of the game, but the toys were left in.

Nice game.Very easy though.I finished it at once.

I found all of the clues, but I can tell there's info missing, because of blanks on the note pages and so on.

So I checked out the spoilers, and you're supposed to be able to click on the books and then be able to ask Mandy about them. Logical enough, which is why I TRIED it (long before reading the spoilers), but didn't get that option.

After reading the spoilers, I started a new game (and a third one) in case I had done something wrong, and same result - no option to ask her about the books!

I think I missed a couple others like that, and it's annoying to do the right thing and have it not work.

Yay! I'm so smitten with this game! It has clever writing and the game itself looks really good for a flash game. Definately Phoenix Wright-ish, which I like. I LOVE those games.

Reply

it's not really that hard at all, just ask them all the questions and collect clues

There will be one box left in your boxes of clues but it's ok, there's no last clue

Reply

what is the 8th hint?

If you can't get the eyeball thing,Follow these instructions:
1.Move your courser to the left of Grimoire's face.
2.You may see a flash.When this happens,move the courser to the right of Grimoire's face.

Oh yeah. I finished this game yesterday...or was it a couple of days ago? Well, it took me an hour. I didn't need any help, I kinda guessed when I found the wrench in the trash. It was obvious. I like Charles, I don't really know why. But he's kinda cool. Hahaha. Loved the game. I hope they make another, hopefully. *thumbs up* GOOD GAME MATE LOL

Interesting game.
Ricky was the 1st guy I got to confess. ask him about

his fight w/the clown dude

yeah. One more:

2 questions: Why isn't the little girl in the credits? She was cute. What is the last clue that you don't need to solve the mystery? I think its in the Hall of Mirrors but I never found it and I solved the mystery

Arikiko July 27, 2009 2:23 AM

Kind of like a cheesier version of the Phoenix Wright "investigation" mode. Except instead of psyche-locks, you get... eye contact interrogation? WTF?

Man, that little girl creeped me out. I wouldn't have been surprised if she was the murderer. But that's not cheesy at all!

Game's too easy, I finished it in about 20 minutes on my own. But I guess I did play every single Ace Attorney case made to date. I'm a freak. :D

Reply

This was fun, but it totally reminded me of Pheonix Wright...the whole truth thing and the searching and even the little girl. It reminded me a lot of Phoenix Wright.

JUST KIDDING! HAHA.GUESS WHAT, ALL? Pete, Mandy's uncle, the old fellow, the fellow mechanic, the mechanical murderer, murdered, Hughey the old guy, the old deaf funhouse owner, the useless worker, the worker with no use. :DD

That was a well good game :D I would recomend it to everyone apart from little children because they might find it a bit scary . I have to confess i had to use this walkthrough to help me during the middle of the investigation though ! It is a very good walkthrough I have to say......

Fabulous!!
I loved this game.
At first I thought It was Jerry, but he's to nice, then I finally got to the end, and got the VERY LAST question wrong, so i had to answer em ALL OVER AGAIN!! *frustration*

To eliminate the Amusement Park owner as a suspect, you need to show them the calendar and get to the truth. Only the murderer remains.

does anyone know what was the deal with the

girl? Grimoire said it himself, it was odd that she was at a rundown carnival at night, after a murder, with very valuable information.
