That’s particularly true with In for a Penny which was an interesting concept to create a board game around.

James is a champion for us and although the world is hard, having a sense of humour helps us get through. IMPORTANT: The Promotion is subject to these Specific Rules and the General Terms and Conditions which are available here (together, the ‘Promotion Terms and Conditions’). In this podcast series you’ll hear from offenders, the police, crime experts and investigators as we delve into the workings of the criminal mind. He was delighted with everything we suggested, but then his daughters scrutinised our proposal – and they’re not as forgiving as James! The objective is to get the other players to believe your own false answers to gain maximum points, while answering questions correctly yourself.No nonsense LBC Radio host James O’Brien first came to my attention during one of the pandemic’s many lockdowns. Most formats for the board games are easily adapted from the TV concepts… But we work with designers who’ve worked on most of the past and present games in the UK market to seek an interesting twist. The podcast also included conversations with experts and victims, looking at how societal views, misogyny and popular media tropes may be enabling stalkers to commit crimes without intervention.

The host can also score two points from each player who chooses their invented answer as the correct answer. If such a winner does not respond within 24 hours from being contacted, they will forfeit their right to the prize and we shall be entitled to select another winner.

Our group did spot one glaring omission in the rules though: there is no penalty attached to incorrectly guessing an answer before the correct and false answers are revealed. We reserve the right to substitute the prize with another prize of equal or greater value at our absolute discretion. There may even be some joy to be had for Mystery Hour anoraks in coming up with their own questions and answers, perhaps even using podcasts of past Mystery Hour episodes to prolong the experience. We may publish and publicise your name, your nearest geographical location (for example, your nearest city, town or county) and your entry, and we may refer to your association with the Promotion and/or the prize, in any and all media, worldwide, in perpetuity, for publicity and PR purposes solely in connection with the Promotion.
