Murder, She Wrote: Mystery Jigsaw Puzzles

Based on the popular TV series starring Angela Lansbury, Murder, She Wrote: Mystery Jigsaw Puzzles is a murder mystery game starring the famous detective Jessica Fletcher, albeit without the participation of Lansbury herself.

The game features four different murder cases, in which the facts of the case are first presented to the player via audio narration and FMV cutout dialogue among the various characters (though Fletcher is just presented as a static Lansbury headshot and voiced by a different actress). The player must then assemble a jigsaw puzzle of the crime scene and examine it for the clues which can implicate the guilty party. Once the player has selected the character they believe is the murderer, Fletcher then reveals the culprit along with further explanation on how the crime was committed.

The jigsaw puzzles have several configurable gameplay options, including background color, piece shape (curved or square), and sound effects. The puzzles can also be cut into 24, 48, 80, 130, 154, or 187 different pieces to vary the difficulty level, with 187 being the default.
