| Murder In Small Town X | comment |
Murder in Small Town X was a one season reality/game show mystery where a group of contestants try to solve a grisly murder in a small fictional town in Maine, on the East Coast of the United States. Throughout each episode the contestants would go through clues but eventually two contestants would be sent off to two different locations. One would retrieve the next clue, while the other would find the killer waiting for them, never be seen again...Winner Angel Juarbe Jr., a New York City firefighter, died in the collapse of the World Trade Center only a week after the final episode was broadcast, which has probably accounted for a lack of any sequel, though the UK did see a different version in 2003 known as The Murder Game. Also compare and contrast Whodunnit? (2013). | |

Wrong Genre Savvy | |
| Murder In Small Town X / int_20a14df0 | comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: Subverted with Kristen, who treated the show (particularly her interaction with the other investigators) as a Survivor-like affair where the goal was to be the last person standing. The problem was that was more or less all she treated it as, while the rest of the team was more concerned with trying to solve the murders. Also note that she wasn't particularly effective either as she was sent out to play the Killer's Game five times before finally getting axed. | |

The Scrappy: A rare in-universe example in the form of Kristen who was pretty much hated by everyone after the first episode (she would later reappear on The Apprentice with similar results). | |

| Murder In Small Town X / int_2d4fa515 | comment |
Ax-Crazy: Rev. Rusty Crandall becomes more and more unhinged as the series progresses. In the penultimate episode, he claims he committed the murders, but when he's interrogated by the investigators his story doesn't match up and is subsequently cleared. | |

| Murder In Small Town X / int_47fea76b | comment |
Butt-Monkey: Kristen, one of the investigators/contestants, is perpetually sent by her peers to look for the killer's clue in hopes that she gets ambushed by the killer (she eventually did). Jeff, another investigator/contestant, especially had it out for her. Only once was she not sent out, at the discretion of the first investigator to be eliminated. | |

Trap Is the Only Option | |
| Murder In Small Town X / int_50a33496 | comment |
Trap Is the Only Option: The investigators pretty much need to play along with the Killer's Game, despite knowing it could lead to their deaths, as it's the best chance they have of solving the case. | |

Jigsaw Puzzle Plot | |
| Murder In Small Town X / int_715704e5 | comment |
Jigsaw Puzzle Plot: It's practically impossible to deduce who the killer is because most of the truly incriminating evidence doesn't show up until the final episode. One of the clues recovered at the murder scenes is actually a Jigsaw Puzzle. | |

Large Ham | |
| Murder In Small Town X / int_823c6e3e | comment |
Large Ham: So many of the citizens of Sunrise, almost to the point it becomes a World of Ham. The most notable examples though are Rev. Rusty Crandall and Gen. Hayden DeBeck. This also applied to the investigators as well. Jeff, in particular, spent his first two trips on the Killer's Game hooting and yelling at the killer to come get him. For his third time, he has a feeling that he picked the map where the killer would ambush him and is much more quiet and reserved. He does indeed get axed. | |

Right for the Wrong Reasons | |
| Murder In Small Town X / int_83cef301 | comment |
Right for the Wrong Reasons: The killer is William Lambert, who was always viewed as one of the more shadier suspects. However all of the possible motives the investigators floated for him were business related, when the true motive was a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. The fact that the victims also happened to be standing in the way of his business aspirations was more of a coincidence than anything. | |

Luck-Based Mission | |
| Murder In Small Town X / int_98b1dc8f | comment |
Luck-Based Mission: What the killer's game boiled down to. Two contestants (one voted out, and the other picked by the lifeguard) were sent out to two locations, one with a vital clue, the other has the killer lying in wait to "kill" the contestant, thus eliminating them from the game. There was no hint or clue as to which location contained which, so contestants had a 50-50 shot of being eliminated. | |

Alas, Poor Villain | |
| Murder In Small Town X / int_ac09dc0f | comment |
Alas, Poor Villain: The killer's motivation is understandable, if way way past the line of Disproportionate Retribution, (Killed 15 people, and most of them unrelated to the OSL, only due to a deadly game YOU caused.) and his/her death ends the show on a note of melancholy. | |

Exact Words | |
| Murder In Small Town X / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: Subverted. The killer promises to eliminate one suspect from the dossier given if the investigators correctly answer his question every three days (all of them based on the investigation tracks they performed that episode). He doesn't actually mean he's going to immediately kill them, just provide evidence that said suspect is not him. That doesn't mean cleared suspects won't wind up dead later, however... | |
