HOW TO PLAY

A £25,000 reward MUST be won each week for four weeks! Will you be this week’s clever detective in the first of four separate whodunnits?

Each Saturday we will publish a new crime story. It introduces a group of suspects, and the picture of the crime scene that accompanies it contains a series of visual clues (as well as the occasional red herring!). It also reveals the first of six principal clues that, together, will help reveal the identity of the killer.

The first clue appears in the artwork on the previous page and is reproduced on this page (left). Then each day from Monday to Friday in the Daily Mail we’ll publish a further clue.

On Friday, as well as the final clue there will be some additional information to help you crack the mystery – and instructions on how to enter for the £25,000 prize.

Once you have worked out who the killer is, send the answer by phone, text or email when the competition lines open on Friday morning. The lucky winner with the correct answer will be drawn at random next Saturday 25 November and called between 12 noon and 2pm. Answer the phone and you will win the £ 25,000 reward. To be eligible to win, you must have retained four front pages from the Daily Mail between Saturday 18 November and Friday 24 November.

Don’t forget, another whodunnit will appear in next Saturday’s Weekend magazine.

Entrants to this competition must be UK residents aged 18 and over. Terms and conditions apply, please see the main newspaper today or visit dailymail. co. uk/mystery.
