Whodunn!t?

Whodunn!t? is a murder mystery reality competition. The series premiered on October 14, 2015.
==Format==
The series follows 13 guests, one of whom is secretly the "killer" posing as a contestant in the game, living in a Beverly Hills mansion named Rue Manor. They are guided by the butler, Giles who also acts as the show's host. Within the show's fiction, the guests, along with Giles and two maids, are trapped by the killer within the house grounds until they determine who the killer is. An early episode shows that Giles is wearing an ankle monitor that forbids him from leaving. In many ways, Giles acts as a puppet for the killer; the killer sends messages to Giles, who reads them to the surviving guests.
Each episode, at least one guest is "murdered" (through staged events by production) by the killer, either while the victim is alone or through pre-arranged circumstances while the remaining guests are congregated as to avoid revealing their identity. After the shock of the event, Giles offers the remaining guests an opportunity to search one of three areas (usually the crime scene, the last known whereabouts, or the morgue containing the victim's body) to discover clues about how the murder was carried out. Guests are free to select which area to search, though they are allowed access to only one area with a limited amount of time, and are confined to the bounds set by production, sometimes marked off with police tape. Guests then participate in a riddle challenge that leads them in a competitive search through the mansion. The guest who is able to complete the challenge receives an additional clue that may greatly help in solving how the murder was committed.
Guests are given limited opportunities to congregate, where they can share, withhold, or lie about whatever information they find from their investigations and riddle challenges; at all other times, guests are isolated from each other. In the first season, this led to the ad hoc formation of two informal teams that tried to assure information was withheld from the other team, in an attempt to assure their own team's advancement to the next round. Though the murders and riddle challenges are presented as having been masterminded by the killer, in reality the guest playing the killer is as unaware of upcoming deaths and challenges as the other guests, and is not given any information from production about the larger social game.
Later, guests are individually taken to the mansion library where, in monologue, they describe to the unseen killer how they believe the murder took place and make an accusation as to who the killer is. During dinner, Giles presents a message from the killer. The message states which guest had the most correct theory and is subsequently spared from being the killer's next victim. The message then fully explains how the murder was completed. After this, Giles hands an envelope to each remaining guest. Those receiving cards with the word "Spared" performed well enough to advance to the next episode. The lowest-scoring guest, along with at least one other low-scoring guest will receive a card with the word "Scared." As noted above, the guest playing the killer is as unaware of how the murders are committed as the rest of the guests are, and so may also receive a "Scared" card as well; however, the killer cannot be eliminated. The lowest-scoring guest is then eliminated from the competition by being "murdered by the killer", in turn setting up the murder to be solved in the next episode.

1 	Poseidon's Fury	October 14-21,2015
The 13 guests are welcomed to Rue Manor by the butler, Giles. After a brief meet-and-greet, the guests split up to explore the house and party the night away. The next morning, they find Don dead in the hot tub. At that moment, Giles reveals that Don was chosen to be the K!ller by production, but it appears that another person has taken his place.
Investigation: The investigation covers three areas, with the following clues identified by various guests:
* The crime scene (the patio): The scene reveals a bath robe and fuzzy slippers next to the hot tub, the former containing a key to the Thai Room. They also notice two knobs for the hot tub which, when turned all the way up, produce a rather vigorous whirlpool. One of the whirlpool jets also contains a scrap of fabric similar to swimming trunks.
* The morgue: Don has a bump and dried blood on the back of his head, seeming to have been inflicted by a blunt object. The back of his swimming trunks are also ripped and worn, with severe marks implying friction between his trunks and skin. The marks and wounds look like some skin got ripped off from his lower back and posterior.
* The last known whereabouts (the Thai room): The guests find a small pair of pliers, as well an incense stick with an unusual metal cylinder inside of it. In private, one guest uses the pliers to cut open the metal cylinder, which contains a note to examine the door frame carefully. On the door frame are 3 circles of varying sizes; putting the Buddha figurines in the room into the 3 circles ejects an advantage in the game: +5% on State Your Case.
R!ddle challenge: Lindsey succesfully solves the R!ddle. She discovers that the bottom of the hot tub is fake. When she pries at it, several items float to the top:
*A special, remotely-controlled Magic 8-Ball that allows the receiver to ask 3 private yes/no questions about the details of the Mystery
*+40 Words: An additional 40 words to add to the individual's Case Summary
*Schematic: An architectural drawing of the house
Solution: At dusk, the K!ller went to Don's room and convinced him to go hot-tubbing, even providing a pair of swim trunks for him. While Don was enjoying the hot tub, the K!ller turned up the knobs all the way to adjust the water-flow. Don was unable to move, the suction of the jets ripping his swim trunks and skin a bit. The K!ller dropped the heavy wooden covers of the hot tub onto Don, banging Don's head in the process. The K!ller then locked the wooden covers as Don struggled underwater, eventually drowning.
