You have been enlisted to consult on the case. So, put on your denim shirt, bell-bottom pants, platform shoes, and go back to the era of disco, roller skating, and shag carpeting.

The Mother Goose Murders
Murderers are a dime a dozen in Valley Falls. But that doesn't keep the newest killer on the scene from showing a sense of ambition and flair. For the most recent rash of murders, the victims’ bodies all share a bizarre and disturbing characteristic: each of them has been dressed up as a classic nursery rhyme character and tagged with a note signed, “Mother Goose.” Can you crack the strange case of the Mother Goose Murders?
To Die For
La Lumière is an award-winning restaurant. It's nearly impossible to get a reservation unless you know someone or have the right amount of money. Which is why it's completely unexpected when a guest dies during their meal. Although the death is ruled as natural causes, there are serious doubts. Can you peel back La Lumière’s golden veneer and expose the rot and darkness beneath? Come to La Lumière, where the food is so good it’s to die for!
Curse of the Pharaoh
The Valley Falls Museum has a new traveling exhibit entitled, "The Pharaohs of Egypt." While the exhibit has brought a lot of interest and visitors, it has also brought its share of trouble.

The museum director, Hubert Henderson, has asked you to look into what is going on, and you happily take the job.
The SITCOM Mystery
Presto!
Magicians are known for making people disappear, but in most cases, a skilled master of illusion can also make them reappear with no harm done. The Magician has suddenly burst on to the scene in Valley Falls and has been making people disappear one day and then reappear the next day as pale, lifeless corpses. Perhaps you can perform a trick of your own, investigate the case, wave your hands wildly, and say the word, “Presto!” right before unveiling The Magician!
The Sherlock Conundrum
You have just received an exclusive invitation to The Scarlet Study, a members-only club dedicated to Sherlock Holmes. When you arrive, the doorman hands you a shoebox. You open it, expecting a welcome gift of some sort. What you are greeted with instead, is a severed foot with a note attached to it that says, “The Game.” The game, in this case, is literally a foot and will lead you on an investigation that includes details from Sherlock Holmes’ most memorable cases.
