Mystery film
A mystery film is a genre of film that revolves around the solution of a problem or a crime. It focuses on the efforts of the detective, private investigator or amateur sleuth to solve the mysterious circumstances of an issue by means of clues, investigation, and clever deduction. The plot often centers on the deductive ability, prowess, confidence, or diligence of the detective as they attempt to unravel the crime or situation by piecing together clues and circumstances, seeking evidence, interrogating witnesses, and tracking down a criminal. Suspense is often maintained as an important plot element.
Crossword
A crossword is a word puzzle that usually takes the form of a square or a rectangular grid of white-and black-shaded squares. The game's goal is to fill the white squares with letters, forming words or phrases, by solving clues, which lead to the answers. In languages that are written left-to-right, the answer words and phrases are placed in the grid from left to right and from top to bottom. The shaded squares are used to separate the words or phrases. Crossword grids such as those appearing in most North American newspapers and magazines feature solid areas of white squares. Every letter is checked (i.e.
List of Scooby-Doo characters
This is a list of "Scooby-Doo" characters. Scooby-Doo is an American animated franchise based around several animated television series and animated, as well as live action, movies. There are five main characters in the franchise: Scooby-Doo, Shaggy Rogers, Fred Jones, Velma Dinkley, and Daphne Blake—known as "Mystery Incorporated". There are also several recurring characters throughout the franchise, including their parents, friends, allies, and enemies. The original series, "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? ", premiered in 1969, and has spawned off many follow-up series, and several direct-to-DVD movies.
Adventure game
An adventure game is a video game in which the player assumes the role of a protagonist in an interactive story driven by exploration and puzzle-solving. The genre's focus on story allows it to draw heavily from other narrative-based media, literature and film, encompassing a wide variety of literary genres. Many adventure games (text and graphic) are designed for a single player, since this emphasis on story and character makes multi-player design difficult. "Colossal Cave Adventure" is identified as the first such adventure game, first released in 1976, while other notable adventure game series include "Zork", "King's Quest", "The Secret of Monkey Island", and "Myst".
Mechanical puzzle
A mechanical puzzle is a puzzle presented as a set of mechanically interlinked pieces. The oldest known mechanical puzzle comes from Greece and appeared in the 3rd century BC. The game consists of a square divided into 14 parts, and the aim was to create different shapes from these pieces. This is not easy to do. (see Ostomachion loculus Archimedius)  In Iran “puzzle-locks” were made as early as the 17th century AD. The next known occurrence of puzzles is in Japan. In 1742 there is a mention of a game called “Sei Shona-gon Chie No-Ita” in a book. Around the year 1800 the Tangram puzzle from China became popular, and 20 years later it had spread through Europe and America.
Nancy Drew
Nancy Drew is a fictional American character in a mystery fiction series created by publisher Edward Stratemeyer as the female counterpart to his Hardy Boys series. The character first appeared in 1930. The books are ghostwritten by a number of authors and published under the collective pseudonym Carolyn Keene. Over the decades, the character evolved in response to changes in US culture and tastes. The books were extensively revised and shortened, beginning in 1959, in part to lower printing costs with arguable success. In the revision process, the heroine's original character was changed to be less unruly and violent.
The Witness (2016 video game)
The Witness is a 3D puzzle video game developed and published by Thekla, Inc. It was released for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4 in January 2016, with later ports for Xbox One, Nvidia Shield, macOS, and iOS. Inspired by "Myst", the game involves the exploration of an open world island filled with natural and man-made structures. The player progresses by solving puzzles, which are based on interactions with grids presented on panels around the island or paths hidden within the environment. Jonathan Blow, the game's lead designer, desired to create a game around non-verbal communication, wanting players to learn from observation and to come to epiphanies in finding solutions and leading to a greater sense of involvement and accomplishment with each success.

Apt Pupil (film)

Usual Suspects (album)

Most of the production came from Mike Dean, who had produced the majority of the group's previous three albums, and Leroy "Mr Lee (producer)" Williams. Other producers on the album included the 5th Ward Boyz, Scarface and John Bido. Though the album was an improvement on the charts over their last album "Rated G", peaking at 180 on the "Billboard" 200 and 26 on the R&B/Hip-Hop charts, "Usual Suspects" was less well received. Allmusic called it an "unoriginal effort" and said ""Usual Suspects" demonstrated that in 1997 there were still many rappers who were content to offer one tired, worn-out gangsta rap cliché after another."
