Comment on Mystery-o-matic.com random murder generator is open-source

Comments

Fun fact about mystery-o-matic.com, and I suspect the HTML page generated with linked software : with JS disabled, you are able to see all clues "for free". When you don't know what the UI ought to look like, you just read them before realizing you're not supposed to.

This is correct, JS should be enabled to play :). The alternative is using a server to get clues which I want to avoid (the website is a single, static html). This enabled to play offline as well.

You can probably hide those with a `display: none` via CSS and remove it with Javascript. People with poor connections may fail to load the JS, or see the clues until JS finally loads.

Good catch, thanks a lot!
