Danger lurks in the halls of Northfield Elementary. 

The school yard is no place for the meek.  Only one man can protect the innocent children from bullies, cheaters, and thieves.  But unfortunately Principal Jones is usually too tied up with PTA meetings, in-service days, and keeping his office chair warm.  That leaves Adin Simon, private eye, gumshoe, and sleuth to clean up after the fact.  Fourth grade may not be safe, but with a bit of grit and determination he'll solve your case and bring your culprit to justice... Or get wedgied trying.

4th Grade Confidential is a microgame of deduction, bluffing, and cunning, based on Neal Simon's comic book project called Fourth Grade Confidential. The premise is that a 4th grader named Adin is a private eye at his school, working to solve the great mysteries of elementary school, like who stole his sister's stuffed pink bunny.

In 4th Grade Confidential one player is the Sleuth while 2-4 other players are the Characters. Each round the Sleuth is trying to solve a different mystery. The Sleuth has six Sleuth Cards and the other 12 cards are dealt evenly to the Characters. The Sleuth has six turns to try to figure out which Character has the Target Item for that round by calling out various attributes and seeing who has items with matching attributes. Through careful deduction and use of actions the Sleuth and Characters all try to be the player to end up with the Target Item.

The Sleuth: Each round a new player will take on the roll of the Sleuth.  The Sleuth will be questioning the Characters and following up clues.  If the Sleuth catches Characters lying about the items they have he'll get to perform additional actions to help him narrow down where the Target Item is.

The Characters: All other players are Characters in the current mystery.  One Character will have the Target Item that the Sleuth is looking for.  As the Sleuth questions Characters they will begin to reveal items they have to prove their innosence, or to throw the Sleuth off the track.  Can you be cunning enough to keep the Target Item hidden from the Sleuth?  Are you going to help the Sleuth figure out who is the Culprit?  Maybe you're just out for yourself.  Characters get to take actions if they reveal items the Sleuth is looking for, without giving up the Target Item.  But if they are caught lying the Sleuth gets extra actions to help him find the Culprit.

The round ends when the Sleuth runs out of Actions or when he finds the Target Item.  Scoring can be tallied for each round and then scores totaled after everyone has had a chance to be the Sleuth an equal number of times.

Also, be sure to check out the Fourth Grade Confidential comic book, available through DriveThruComics, here!

A clever, family-friendly "noir" story, Fourth Grade Confidential is the first comic book ever written and illustrated by a lawyer and his ten year old son.

This is a GREAT micro card game. My wife and I playtested the game with a friend and had a blast. It was simple to learn, fast play times and a nice flow. If anyone is looking for a fun little deduction game this is a keeper.

It slightly reminds me of "Clue" meets the 4th grade and put on cards. I give this one a solid 9 out of 10 for the beautiful comic style art, easy gameplay and fun replay value. Need a few minutes to fill waiting for the other members of your game group to show up? This is a good one for that as well :)

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
