The cards
Pick a person by tapping the photo on their card, the victim too. Then tap a square to put them there, or drag the photo onto it. At this difficulty the game does not cross off rows and columns for you, unless you switch on Cross off for me. Holding a square, or switching the pencil on, makes a note. Keyboard: Enter places, Shift and Enter makes a note.

Good to know
- Beside: on one of the four squares directly above, below, left or right, in the same room. Diagonally does not count, and neither does through a wall. A window or door in the wall of your square is beside you.
- North of someone: in a higher row, in any column. The same goes for south, east and west.
- Alone: nobody else in the same room, the victim included. Alone with someone: those two, and nobody else in that room.
- The only person in a chair (or on a couch, bed or rug): nobody else is on one, in any room.
Place everyone first, the victim too.
If it is not right yet, checking costs 30 seconds.
