Whodunnit? is a murder mystery Reality Show made by the creator of CSI that aired for a nine-episode season on ABC from June 23—August 18, 2013.Thirteen contestants are invited to a mansion called Rue Manor. Each week, at least one of them is "killed"note through staged events by production, and the others must solve the mystery of the murder while trying to figure out who among them is the Killer, being guided by the mansion's butler Giles, who also serves as the show's host. The last contestant alive, earning the title of "the Killer's most worthy adversary", gets to unmask the Killer and wins $250,000.Each episode has an evidence-collection phase with two stages: In the first stage, the contestants gather clues by examining the room where the body was found, the body itself in the morgue, or a relevant third location (usually somewhere the victim had been shortly before the murder) — but each contestant may visit only one of the three locations. The second stage is a treasure hunt: the contestants are given a clue which leads to another clue and so on; the first person to follow the chain of clues to its end finds the murder weapon and gains an insight into the murder method — and ends the hunt before anyone else gets to complete it. Thus, it is not possible for any one person to find all the available clues, and strategies for gaining truthful information from other contestants can be key to a successful solution.After collecting evidence, the contestants stand one at a time in Rue Manor's library and reconstruct the murder as best they can by talking through what they believe unfoldednote However, they're actually assessed based on their performances on an unaired written quiz with 12-15 questions. Giles then presents a message from the Killer during dinner that night that fully explains the murder and spotlights the contestant whose theory was closest to the truth. Cards with the words "Spared" and "Scared" are respectively distributed to the best-performing and worst-performing contestants, designating them as either safe to advance or at risk of elimination. The person whose theory is farthest from the truth becomes the next victim.For the long-running British mystery game show, see Whodunnit? (UK).For the Pinball game from Bally, click here.

Read the Fine Print: Occurs in the season finale. In the last part of the puzzle challenge, Giles told the players to read the fine print on his employment contract to prove whether or not he was the Killer. One player didn't listen to that part, but he ended up winning anyway.

Wrong Genre Savvy: Don's biggest problem. As an ex-detective, he worries about things like the motive and how the crime could have conceivably played out. Neither are very important in a campy Ten Little Murder Victims-style reality show.

Failed a Spot Check
 Whodunnit? (2013) / int_21e5b9c7
comment
Failed a Spot Check: Happens on occasion, such as when the players at the morgue missed the wooden splinters in Ulysses' wound. After the seventh case, the Killer calls out the final five for missing a great deal of evidence and how it was unacceptable that late into the game, to the point where the idea of a second double murder may be on the table as a result.

As the Good Book Says...
 Whodunnit? (2013) / int_2439b588
comment
As the Good Book Says...: A riddle in the first episode refers to 2 Kings 13:17, specifically a passage containing the words "shoot through the east window", as a clue to the murder. (The contestants looked at Ezekiel 13:17 first because they missed the "2 Kings" part and that's what the Bible in the house was open to, but it didn't seem to mean anything.)

Small Name, Big Ego: At about the mid-point of the first episode, Kam gathers Ulysses and Geno and tells them that they're "the three smartest people here". Although Kam and Geno are strong competitors, with Kam going on to win, there's no noticeable gap in intelligence between them and the others.

Hurricane of Puns
 Whodunnit? (2013) / int_2937826d
comment
Hurricane of Puns: Giles and the Killer love to make puns based on the murder the players are investigating. After Dontae was killed by burning, the episode was filled with fire puns up to and including "Dontae's inferno." Ulysses was offed using "finishing" nails. As Geno makes a toast, he becomes "toast". A slew of acting/award puns were used when describing the deaths of Sasha and Dana.

Previously on…: Every episode except the first and the last begins with a two-part previously-on; the first part recaps the premise of the series and is much the same each episode apart from updates of the murder montage, and the second part recaps the previous episode in detail. The last episode has a completely new previously-on recapping the entire season.

Hysterical Woman
 Whodunnit? (2013) / int_33e48eb9
comment
Hysterical Woman: Some of the contestants, particularly Melina and Dana, get really emotional during the Spared or Scared ceremonies. At times, they appear to have forgotten that they are playing a game, and seem to actually think they're going to be murdered. Of course, this can also be chalked up to the regular kind of reality show edits. Kam implies that some of the women are acting like this. At one point, he interrupts Sasha (who's giving Ronnie a What the Hell, Hero? speech). When Sasha responds to him unfavourably, he calls her a brat and says he'll always respond to her getting up in his face — apparently forgetting that he was involving himself in a conversation that had nothing to do with him. In another instance, he calls Sasha entitled for walking up to a clique meeting and asking him for information, despite the fact that she left when asked.

Five-Second Foreshadowing: In the finale, Cris and Kam wind up in a room where they watch Lindsey being killed on a screen. When Kam then accuses Cris of being the Killer, she seemingly denies it, but her response is suddenly in rhymes, much like the ones the Killer would use in their clues. Sure enough, Cris reveals herself as the Killer moments later and congratulates Kam for winning the show — all in rhyme.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: As abrasive as Kam was, when he was approached by the opposing team to betray his own at Ulysses and Lindsey's expense, he refused to keep information from them, which would later result in him being scared instead of their primary target, Lindsey. Also, when his closest ally, Ulysses, was nominated alongside him, he seemed genuinely saddened that Ulysses would have to be eliminated if he wanted to continue in the game. Kam was never willing to betray his team, leading to its members being the final three contestants in the game.

comment
Improvised Weapon: The murder weapon in the fifth case was a simple 2x4 pulled from the floor of an abandoned hut with a pair of nails coated in poison nailed into it. One also would have been used for the "luau" death — two rings fastened onto the ends of a kukui nut necklace; in the Killer's own words, a homemade choking device — but the intended victim went off track and forced the Killer to use an actual weapon. The Killer made sure to use it in a later murder for good measure.

No Animals Were Harmed: After the mountain lion incident, Giles makes a point to state that the lion was shot with only a tranquilizer dart and is unhurt. Likewise, the horseback murder makes a point of emphasizing that the horse was merely startled, and not physically harmed.

At Least I Admit It: Part of Kam's Moral Myopia is his insistently calling the others "lying backstabbers"; he makes no secret of only being out for himself, and claims the others are hypocrites for wanting to hedge their bets as much as possible.

Wire Dilemma: One of the challenges in the season finale is a bomb with a blue and a red wire, which must be defused by cutting the wire that matches the color of a clue item from early in the season. One of the competitors never got to see that item, and doesn't recall anyone mentioning what color it was...

Man on Fire: How the first eliminated player "died". Dontae was given a different change of pajamas than the other contestants; his pajamas had been sprayed with benzene, and his socks could generate more static electricity than normal. When the Killer sounded the fire alarm, Dontae ran across a shag carpet to get to the door, unwittingly building up enough electricity that the simple spark of touching the doorknob was enough to make him burst into flames.

Final Exam Finale: While it marks the end of every episode (and a larger version is an important part of the actual finale), it's apparently played very literally behind-the-scenes: the end credits specify that the contestants actually take a written exam that questions their knowledge of the crime to decide whether or not they'll move on.

High-Voltage Death: Subverted with the first murder, although it inspires the title of the episode it's in ("High Voltage"). Sheri's body is discovered convulsing from electric shocks, but it's later revealed that she had already been killed instantly by the Killer's slingshot, and that the Killer had set up elements in the environment around her (a live wire from a plugged-in lamp, and the fish tank, which the Killer planned would shatter after Sheri fell forwards onto it) to electrocute her body after the fact.

Dumb Blonde: Subverted. In early episodes, Lindsey is perceived by some of the other players as less intelligent, and is often shown stumped by the riddles. However, she manages to get the best case in episode 3, doesn't get a Scared card until the penultimate episode even in spite of being left out of the loop often, and ends up being the runner-up of the entire game. Oh yeah, and she's the only one who correctly guessed who the killer was every single time.

Foreshadowing: Possibly a coincidence, but while investigating a fireplace, Adrianna expresses fear that it's going to explode. At the end of that episode, she dies in an explosion. In one episode's investigation, Cris states that her dad taught her to handle and use guns when the situation ever came where it would be necessary. It becomes clearer when you find out that she's the Killer. According to the Killer, the luau murder was originally going to involve them strangling the victim with their kukui nut lei, but since the victim didn't wear the lei to the luau, the Killer had to kill them another way. In the finale, Melina is strangled and killed with the same lei.

The Butler Did It: At one point towards the end of the show, the possibility gets thrown up that Giles is the Killer, with him even asking at one point, "You don't think I'm the Killer, do you?" He wasn't. His employment contract, which the players had to read to prove his innocence, stated he wasn't responsible for any murders in Rue Manor.

Cosmic Plaything: Implied in the tie-in books as to why the games are happening. Giles is forever cursed so that whenever job he takes, it turned out to be for/hijacked by a extremely outrageously wealthy, yet also utterly psychotic Serial Killer who sets up a Deadly Game by creating a Closed Circle in the place he’s currently in, and then forces Giles to host for them on their behalf, lest they kill him and/or other staff members that refuse to go along.

Moral Myopia

comment
Moral Myopia: After a small alliance forms of four players who refuse to share any of their information with the others/blatantly lie about whatever they find, the rest decide to close ranks and return the favor. This leads to members of the first group complaining about the others shutting them out in the exact same way they treated them. Kam repeatedly talks about all of the people outside his alliance being 'lying backstabbers only out for themselves'... including immediately after he breaks a promise to help one of them, with no apparent sense of irony on his part. Though, to be fair, Ronnie refused to adhere to his end of the deal by deceiving Geno and feeding him false information, when Kam told him to isolate Geno and not reveal anything. This would've allowed Ronnie to rejoin Geno if he figured out the riddle, whereas Kam wanted him to cut off all ties to Geno.

Clueless Detective: The eventual winner proves to be one, as they never correctly identified the Killer at any point in the show — during the finale, they even named Giles as the Killer when prompted, as they'd missed Giles' instructions to Read the Fine Print of the contract they were to get. The win came mainly came from succeeding at primarily physical challenges, not any kind of deduction. The finalist that did suspect the Killer correctly was killed off due to finishing the challenge last. It just goes to show how the show treated the identity of the Killer as essentially an afterthought.

Break Them by Talking: Melina, being the last person outside of Kam's alliance still left alive, turned into a complete badass in the penultimate episode by single-handedly deducing many of the details of Ronnie's murder just by how well she knew the victim. She then went and confirmed her suspicions by telling the other alliance nearly every single piece of information they knew that she shouldn't, and stunning them into silence. Deconstructed in that it ultimately didn't help her, as Team Kam ultimately knew just a little bit more about the murder than she did, causing her elimination.

Unfortunately for the victim, this was because the Killer intended to strike at 12:01 the next morning.

Shout-Out

comment
Shout-Out: The "snakebite" victim was dressed like Indiana Jones in the finale for no real reason other than a reference to the infamous line "Why did it have to be snakes?" In the double-homicide episode, the Killer's explanation of their murder contains several references. In his congratulatory distinction from the Killer, Kam is said to have given "an Oscar-worthy performance" and is called "the nominee for Best Picture"note Though it may have made more sense to say "Best Actor".... The distinction is topped off with the line "Here's looking at you, kid." After the Killer notes that they incapacitated Dana with chlorophyll, they say that "at that point, it was all quiet on the Western front."

Self-Deprecation: In the description of Adrianna's death, Giles gets a mocking tone in his voice when he explains how she spent the night watching reality television. Bonus points for it being Rock of Love, a show with the same production company as Whodunnit? (51 Minds). The first episode has the killer saying their first victim would never have been a real adversary due to being a cheerleader. It turns out that the killer is a beauty queen, another profession that's generally put down as vapid and overly concerned with looks over brains.

Dude, Not Funny!: The night after the Man on Fire murder, Giles taunts the players by serving roast pig flambé for dinner. He trollingly asks "Too soon?", which they agree it is. The morning after two females are murdered, Giles briefly dances with a maid before reminiscing olden times when he did the same with a British debutante in London; he was, in his words, "a little bit of a lady killer." This provokes less-than-amused reactions from Melina and Cris.

Fair-Play Whodunnit: Somewhat. The audience is presented with all the clues the players find, but each individual player is denied a share of the clues and must share information with others to get what they're missing. And if players miss certain clues entirely (as is the case in some late episodes), not even the audience is informed of them until the murder is explained at the end of the episode.

Plot-Irrelevant Villain: Having one of the guests be the killer was completely irrelevant. The killer could have been someone outside of the players without the story or gameplay going through any significant changes.

Patron Saint: For bonus irony points, the Killer provided a medallion of Saint Agatha (patron of protection from flames) to the victim s/he intended to set on fire.

Rhymes on a Dime: Most of the Killer's clues are rhymes. The finale is stuffed to the gills with them, to the point that the Killer reveals themselves to the winner in rhyme. Obviously, it's a habit.

Detective Mole: It's assumed the Killer is sabotaging the investigation. Downplayed, however, as everyone is sabotaging someone else's investigation to avoid being the next victim.
