Get a Clue!

Meta Prompt
Can you identify the killer, the weapon, and the location?
This is my entry for Crosshare's March Midi Contest. Good luck solving the mystery, er, meta!
Hint 1: As Sherlock Holmes would say, finding the weapon and location is elementary. The killer, however, not so much...
Hint 2: According to 34A, the killer is hiding somewhere in the grid.
Hint 3: What's up with that cryptically-worded clue at 11A? I don't think the killer is a fisherman.
Hint 4: Oh, "angled" as in "diagonal"!
Hint 5: And a corner-to-corner grid-spanner at that!
Controllo se esistono file di gioco salvati...

- benchen71 3:15 · 2024-03-19T10:11:14.907ZLove it! Well done on getting all that into such a small grid!!
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-03-19T12:55:35.917ZThanks, Ben!
- Jimmy James 🤓2:19 · 2024-03-19T16:28:53.095ZVery nice, good work incorporating the clues to the meta
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-03-19T16:57:33.730ZThank you, Jimmy. Glad you enjoyed it!
- KayW 🤓2:46 · 2024-03-19T17:36:14.684ZNicely done!! and fun to solve. I never do that well at the actual game CLUE lol. Thanks Cap'n!
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-03-19T19:29:22.049ZThanks for solving, Kay. I was always Professor Plum when I played, but he wouldn't fit the diagonal. :)
- DIS 🤓2:36 · 2024-03-19T18:53:50.692ZI missed the diagonal, but I assumed Green came from ROY.G. (In a way, it did.)
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-03-19T20:30:52.344ZActually, now that you mention it, Green did indeed come from ROYG, DIS.
- Meg 8s · 2024-03-19T18:59:44.640ZFun!! Took me just a wee bit to find the killer. I’m sure you’ll win!
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-03-19T20:32:41.061ZThanks, Meg. The only "killers" who fit on that 11-word diagonal were MISTER GREEN and MISS SCARLET. MISTER GREEN had the added benefit of crossing nicely with MYSTERY GAME.
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-03-19T23:37:26.683ZOops, I meant 11-letter.
- MatthewL 🤓3:32 · 2024-03-19T20:11:34.594ZFun. Didn't see the diagonal. Like others, I got it from Roy G (G being green).
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-03-19T20:40:44.763ZIn all honesty, Matthew, I never thought about that G in ROYG, but I'll pretend that it was intentional. Thanks for solving!
- woozy 🤓13:12 · 2024-03-20T02:58:50.160ZI saw that and thought in afterthought in could be a clue to colors in general But 2D was a clue to Emerald Island and I saw that as a hint. But I didn't submit until I got it.
- Bird Lives 🤓4:16 · 2024-03-20T00:27:49.890ZAnother excellent episode of Meta Murder Mystery Theater. Fun while it lasted.
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-03-20T00:46:48.777ZThanks, Jay. You should give the midi contest a try sometime. It's a lot of fun!
- woozy 🤓13:12 · 2024-03-20T02:57:03.365ZHah! That was fun.
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-03-20T12:20:38.443ZThanks, woozy. Glad you enjoyed it!
- THC 🤓2:37 · 2024-03-20T17:46:00.124ZThanks, Rick!
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-03-20T19:02:03.025ZThank you, THC!
- Wayne Mesard 🤓6:32 · 2024-03-20T20:25:37.763ZClever meta!
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-03-20T21:18:27.859ZThanks, Wayne.
- kieranjboyd 🤓2:44 · 2024-03-21T04:27:29.291ZLook, I needed a few of the hints, but I got there! Nice work hiding the killer in plain sight
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-03-21T12:37:00.227ZThanks, kieranjboyd! You picked a fun theme for us this month.
- Laura M 🤓2:42 · 2024-03-21T19:06:32.467ZFun, thanks!
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-03-21T20:07:26.817ZThanks for solving, Laura!
- kurtalert 🤓2:32 · 2024-03-21T19:02:04.508ZVery nice. We actually played Clue again for the first time in probably 30 years a few weeks ago. A super fun blast from the past.
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-03-21T20:08:24.512ZThanks, kurtalert. Clue was always my favorite game growing up.
- Tuffy 🤓3:32 · 2024-03-21T20:14:55.532ZIncredible fill! I loved this!
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-03-21T22:08:15.398ZThanks, Tuffy! I loved your puzzle too!
- DrTom 11s · 2024-03-23T15:55:10.877ZTypical Cap'n puzzle loaded with references: INROOM next to LOUNGE, EMERALS and G both in MISTERGREEN, MURDER meeting ROPE. I did try to make sure it wasn't MISS SCARLET (Fiery), PROFESSOR PLUM (BIV), MISS PEACOCK (BIVROYG) in the GUESTHOUSE (Hotel) with the REVOLVER (Shot at) but that was jut making it too hard. Fun diversion at a time I am struggling with EVERYTHING. Thanks Cap!
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-03-23T17:38:10.290ZThanks, Tom! I like to give the solvers their money's worth.
- vampirebat 3:00 · 2024-03-24T18:54:57.963Zthis is so clever!! literally in awe at how well constructed this is
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-03-24T20:31:50.648ZThank you, vampirebat! I appreciate your comments.
- AaronS42 🤓2:36 · 2024-04-04T17:36:31.396ZI needed two guesses at the meta because "Mister Green with the rope in the lounge" wasn't accepted. Fun puzzle!!
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-04-04T18:51:27.650ZThanks, Aaron! I was accepting about 15 different permutations of the answer. If only you had said, 'Mister Green with "a" Rope in the Lounge' and not "the" rope you would have gotten it earlier. Thanks for solving!
- Jerms 🤓16:57 · 2024-08-27T06:21:33.114ZThis would be fitting for this month's midi contest, haha
- Darth 🤓5:14 · 2024-12-23T15:29:20.296ZYeah, I didn't see this one when it came out 9 months ago! A fun solve, and so very well constructed! The gift that keeps on giving....
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2024-12-23T22:58:40.442ZThank you, Darth. These midis sure are fun to make, aren't they?
