Is it a book club? Is it a game show? Our spin-off: Dying Message Challenge is a little bit of both, and it's back better than ever! Three contestants try to solve the murders in the novel The Inugami Curse before reading the end of the book. They'll earn additional points in a series of challenges posed by host Noah Max Levine, and compete for the title of "Detective Champion." Part 1 spoils the beginning of the book -- but not the solution to the murders. If you enjoy our coverage of mystery anime, hear us cover the classic detective novel that inspired The Kindaichi Case Files and countless other detective stories in anime!
