Win every US Christie with the Mystery Man game 2011

05 Jul 11 4:29PM

Back by popular demand, agathachristie.com's Mystery Man game 2011, created especially for you - the official Christie community.

Building on the success of last year's game, this year's version is designed to get the community talking and helping each other out, all in the true spirit of community. To play you can either follow the game on Twitter and Facebook, or keep tabs on what's being said in the forums.

What's more, we've got a terrific prize for the winner - every paperback published by HarperCollins US. These are the brand-new US editions which use the original UK texts and have all been recently re-jacketed with beautiful new cover designs.

The Mystery Man Game 2011 is now over but you can still play along for fun. Find out how to play!

Kcarelli, I do believe all the characters will be available until the game is over.
Best of luck.

I missed the first three characters as I was on vacation.  Can I go back and enter in my guesses?  Will they count?

Hi everyone its good to be back playing another mystery man game! I'm sure how far I will get on this though as I don't really understand twitter, but I'm off to have a look on the facebook page and see what I can find on the forum! Good luck everyone :-)

hi,i´m back after a very long time,can anyone help me to find the first clue? i couldn't enter the game before,that´s why now i want to play!!! I have read the forum but i didn´t catch it.....ups...thank you

Thanks- I think that's a good idea.  Last year, a number of people rushed to submit an entry with two clues to go, even though you needed all the clues to get the right answer.  A lot of work went into the game- it makes sense for the participants to have to play all of it.

Hi GKCfan, there will be just the one prize this year, and the winner will be picked randomly out of a hat of all correct entrants. We opted not to have a prize for first correct answer this time beacuse of feedback from last year's game where it was felt that the different time zones globally could work as an advantage/disdvantage depending on where you were when the clues were published.

GKCfan 09 Jul 11 at 8:15p.m.

Will there be a special prize this year for the first person to submit a correct answer?  Will the winner be chosen by a special tie-breaker question like last year, or by random draw or something else?

He folks....so the hunt is on again.  Can't wait to reconnect with past players and to connect with new players!
