Canadian detective competition



The mysterious Canadian competition was the third detective competition held by The Original Game-master.

Joane Temblay won. Larika Downs lost.

The Canadian competition was structured differently [than the American competition]. With each contest, Conver changes the rules and improves it. In the Canadian competition, detectives were split into "teams" from the start, sort of like the Classes in the American competition's third stage, and not allowed to see or talk to each other. There were "showdowns" between each team until the best team won. In the Fifth Stage, two remaining teams were broken up and each detective was on their own — like the American competition's Fifth Stage. It was only then that the detectives from separate teams met each other.

Conver decided to abandon that complicated, isolated approach for the American competition and allowed all the detectives to intermingle, and be paired in twos instead.
