Description

In the late 18th century, the Duc de Praline sets a challenge to six of the worlds most famous chocolatiers - design a chocolate just for him. The winner will receive riches galore.

Each chocolatier researches the life of the Duc and each designs a chocolate that they believe will appeal specifically to the Duc. However, after eating one of each of the chocolates, the Duc falls to the floor - dead.

The renowned detective, Sherlock Truffle, is called in to investigate. It appears that one of the chocolatiers may have inadvertantly designed a chocolate that would remind the Duc of less than happy times, and fearing ridicule, poisoned the Duc to save his own reputation.

You have one of each of the chocolates before you (happily poison-free). Your task is to taste each one and refer to the background research of the Duc's life to determine who is the guilty party.

The game includes chocolates (six of each - and all absolutely gorgeous); notes of each chocolatier; a brief history of the Duc; and a CD which includes interviews with each of the chocolatiers. In addition, a sealed envelope contains the findings of Shelock Truffle.
