NOT JUST US SAYING IT

The “just one more” effect.

When a little downtime becomes your favourite part of the day.

It was very addicting and I did the first 3 categories the first night.

DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

A little taste of the obsession.

Read a clue. Cross something out. Feel that tiny “aha”. Try a miniature example before choosing your first case.

A tiny, spoiler-free illustration of elimination—not a page from the books or a difficulty sample.

Where was the note left?

CLUE 1

The final word has exactly five letters.

Click the place that doesn’t fit the clue.

Four possibilities. Only one place fits all three clues.

MORE THAN A BOOK TO READ

You’re not just turning pages.

You’re following leads, ruling things out and bringing a mystery into focus.

01

Follow the clues

Read carefully, interpret the evidence and work out what each clue tells you.

02

Cross out possibilities

Rule out the answers that don’t fit until each puzzle reveals a new piece of information.

03

Piece it all together

Bring your answers together to solve the case. Each volume has its own final reveal; Volume 2 adds a hidden cipher.

Take your time, follow your curiosity and enjoy the little victories.

BEFORE YOU SETTLE IN

A few helpful things.

Which ELIMINATE book should I start with?

For a first introduction, choose Volume 1: the original Marion Vale case. Volume 2 brings a wedding mystery and a hidden cipher; Volume 3 takes the investigation to Blackthorn Manor.

Am I buying a printed book or a digital PDF?

The ELIMINATE products sold through this website are digital PDFs. For a printed paperback, choose the Amazon option on your chosen book. Check the format and delivery details on the page before buying.

Is ELIMINATE a novel or a puzzle book?

It’s an interactive mystery puzzle book. The story sets up your investigation; you solve the clues and use what you discover to narrow down the suspects.

What do I do with the digital edition?

You receive a PDF rather than a physical book. You can print it at home; to work on it on a device, you’ll need an app that lets you mark up PDFs.

Already solving and need help?

Use the answer-checking address printed in your book. Those existing pages are staying where they are. For anything else, contact Kimberley here.
