Explain the rules of the Westing Game. What must the players do? What is the object of the game? What character plays the game the best? Who do you think is the second best player? Explain why you chose these characters. Do all the heirs receive a prize at the end of the game? Explain.
The rules are there are 8 pairs of players,each pair will get $10,000,each pair will get clues,forfeits will mean that the pair must give up the $10,000,players will get two days notice ofthe next session so they can submit answers. The object of the game is to win. I think that Sydelle Pulaski is the best player because she got the closest answer to the real one. The second best player is Angela Wexlers because she got so many extra clues and because she is the partner of Sydelle Pulaski. Also, on the end of the game they all got a fraction of the money.

Players must have 1 partner. Their are 8 pairs. Each pair will get $10,000. The object of the game is to figure out the clues and the murderer. I think Sydelle is the best at figuring the clues and Turtle is the best at finding the murderer. I choose them because they figured the most out of everyone. At the end all the heirs got a split of the money.

There are 8 pairs of 2, so 16 heirs. Each pair will receive $10,000.00, if both heirs in one pair sign the check they can spend the money. If they forfeit, that pair will have to return the $10,000.00. In the will it states "the object of the game, to win.". Players will get two days notice of the next session so they can submit answers. I think the best player was Turtle, she was the one to inherit the fortune, she figured out Samuel W. Westing's fourth identity, she figured out what the will meant. I think the second best player was Sydelle Pulaski, she was the only one to even think about taking notes of the will, and she also wrote them in polish so only she could read them(assuming the rest of the heirs didn't know polish).

The game consist of 16 players divided into pairs. Each pair is given 10,000 dollars and one set of clues. If any pair or partner drops out the pair has to leave the game and return the money. There is 2 day notice before each session where one answer is given. The object of the game is to win. Turtle is the obvious choice for who is the best, she figured out the hidden message in the will, the true meaning of the words. This led her to Sam Westing and a life in law. The second best was the Judge. She was headed in the right track, using an investigator to help her figure out clues and the people. The players each were awarded equal shares of the deed of Sunset Towers. All but one pair because they forfeited received 10,000 dollars and Crowe received a total of 30,000 dollars.
The rules of the game are that there are 16 players, divided into 8 pairs. Each pair receives $10,000 and one set of clues. If a player forfeits, their partner must leave the game and the pair must return their money. If a pair is absent, they forfeit the $10,000 and their clues are held until the next session. The pairs will be given two days notice of the next session and then they will give one answer. The object of the game is to win. I think Turtle played the game the best. Turtle was the youngest player and didn't overthink things like some of the adults. She was the only one to figure out that Sam Westing was a fourth person. I think Sydelle Pulaski was the second best player because she figured out that all of clues were a song and then she was able to find the missing words to come up with Berthe Erica Crow. All of the heirs received a prize which was the deed to Sunset Towers, in equal shares. Only Crow receives the forfeited $10,000 by table one, and two $10,000 checks signed by J.J. Ford and Alex McSouthers. Turtle wins the windfall because she was the one who found the fourth.

The rules are that there are 16 people divided into 8 groups each group gets $10,000 if you forfeit you must return your $10,000 if you are absent you forfeit. The object of the game is to win. Each pair gets a set of clues you have to determine the answer to win the $2 million. I think that Turtle played the best because she was the only one to figure out that Sam Westing was Sandy, Barney, and Mr.Eastman as well as Sam Westing. I think that Sydelle Pulaski was the second best player because she was the only one to figure out that the clues were all from America the Beautiful. Everybody won a prize and that was the deed to Sunset Towers split into equal shares everybody walked away from the game with more then they started with but it still wasn't enough. only Crow got the forfeited $10,000 from table one along with the 2 $10,000 checks signed by J.J Ford and Sandy McSouthers.

Each pair receives one set of clues,
If any player drops out , their partner must leave the game. The pair must return the money. Absent pairs forfeit the 10,000 dollars; their clues will be held until the next session.
Players are give a two day notice of the next session.
The object of the game is to win.
The best player is turtle because she figured out that Sam was the identity of 3 other people. The second best is Sydelle Pulaski because she figured out the name Berthe Erica Crow. Everybody got a share of the money, which was the deed to Sunset Towers. Crow received the 10,000 dollars forfeited by table 1,and also got two ten thousand dollar checks signed by JJ. Ford and Sandy McSouthers.

There are 16 players who are divided into eight pairs. Each of the pairs will receive 10,000 dollars and two pair of clues. If any of the players drop out their partner must leave the game also. The pair must return the money that they were given. Absent pairs must forfeit their $10,000. Their clues will be held until the next session. Players will be given two days notice of the next session. Each pair may give one answer of who they think the murderer is. Object of the game is find the murderer and to win.
I think the person who played the game the best is Sydelle Pulaski because she figured out that the clues were part of the song “America the Beautiful.” She also figure out that the missing words in the song meant Berthe Erica Crow. The second best player would have to be Turtle. When everybody else was fretting about the murder of Sandy, she was trying to make sense out of the will and to understand the hints in the will. In the end, they all got a little money. Turtle received more money because she solved the mystery.

There are 16 players that are divided into pairs that make 8 teams. Each pair receives $10,000 and one set of clues. The object of the game is to use the clues to win. Turtle plays the best game because she won all the money. Crow is the second best player because she was Sam Westing's ex-wife. All the heirs did not receive a prize because some died and some were the same person.
The game consists of 15 heirs (I don't count Sandy as an heir as he was Sam Westing but he still played) grouped into 8 pairs. Each pair recieves $10,000 to spend however they want. Both members of the pair have to sign the check. Each pair also recieves 1 set of clues. If any pair drops out they must return the money and their clues will be held. Players are given a two-day notice before the next session where they will give one answer each. I believe that Tabitha Ruth Wexler played the game best because she figured out the answer to the Westing Game. After Sandy's "death" while everyone else was thinking that Crow killed him, she was trying to figure out the rest of the will. That in turn led her to Julian R. Eastman concluding the fact she had won. I think Judge Josie-Jo Ford played the game second best. She was very clever to think to look into the other heirs past to find any connections. She was also the first to figure out that Sandy was really Sam Westing. All the heirs did receve a prize at the very end of the Westing Game. All got a share of Sunset Towers. Everyone who played lived on to create sucssesful lives. Like T.R. Wexler became J.R. Eastman's lawyer. Doug Hoo became an Olympic gold medalist and Judge Ford was appointed to the Supreme Court.

There were several rules of the game. The sixteen players were divided into pairs. They received ten thousand dollars and clues. The object was to win by solving the murder. Both players must stay in the game or the pair forfeits. I think the best player was Turtle because she was more into the game than others. She also figured out the clues faster. I think the second best player was Sydelle. She actually figured out some of the clues before Turtle. She was smart because she did her shorthand in Polish so people couldn't read it. Yes, all the heirs received a prize at the end of the game. It was split.

The Westing game is very simple.
- There are 8 pairs of heirs
- Each pair receives $10,000 and 1 set of clues
- if any player drops out, their partner must leave the game
- Absent pairs forfeit the $10,000 and their clues are held until the next session
- The object of the game is to win
In my opinion, the judge, J.J. Ford played the game the best. She evaluated all the players to see who was the murderer. The second best player is Otis Amber, because he had the idea of putting the clues together.
Yes, all the heirs did receive something at the end of the game. For example, Grace Wexler eventually opened a restaurant chain as a result of playing the game.

The Westing game is simple. Sam Westing picked out sixteen heirs. Each heir gets an unlikley partner. each heir pair gets $10,000 to use on whatever they want. if a player forfeits they and their partner must leave the game. any players that don't show up don't get the $10,000 or the clues. the object of the game is to win.
I think Otis Amber played the game best because he thought of putting together the clues.
Yes all of the heirs got something out of playing the game like Chris. he got the medical help he needed. And got enough for him to go to college

If they forfeit, the two heirs will have to return the $10,000.00. In the will it states "the object of the game is to figure out who killed Sam Westing.". Players will get two days notice of the next reading of the will so they can submit answers. I think the best player was Turtle, she was the one to inherit the fortune, she figured out Samuel W.

The object is to win and to do that you must find out who murdered Westing. Eighteen players would be paired and each pair would receive a $10,000 check. You can not cash in the check without both players signing it. Absent and pairs who quit must forfeit the $10,000. You will also receive a set of clues.
I believe Sydelle played the best because she was the only person who thought that taking notes would be important. She toke the notes in Polish in case if anyone ever got a hold of them. I also believe Turtle was the second best because she won.
Everyone won a part of Sunset Towers, but Turtle won the $200 million.

There is eight pairs and there can only be two in a pair. Each pair gets one set of clues. They each get 10,000 dollars. If one partner forfeits the other must leave the game and they loose the 10,000 dollars. the object is to win. I think the best player was Turtle because she won the game. the second best player would have to be Sydelle Pulaski because she kept notes on everybody and paid attention to the other players. Yes, they do get a prize at the end. They all get to split the money.

The 16 heirs were put in 8 different pairs
Each group got $10,000, and one set of clues
If someone was to drops out, the partner is no longer in the game.
The pair doesn't get $10,000, and their clues are held until the next session
The will know within two days of the next session. Then every pair can give an answer. I think
I think Turtle was the best player because she figured out that Sandy, Barney, and Sam Westing were all the same person.She won the game. I think Judge Ford was the second best player because she got background information on everyone, and researched how they knew Sam Westing.
Turtle won the 200 million dollars.
All the heirs got something even though they didn't win.

The rules of the Westing Game are, there are 16 players divided into 8 pairs.Each pair received $10,000. Each pair also received one set of clues. To win you had to solve the murder. If one player leaves the game then the pair forfeits. I think the best player was Turtle beacuse she gave the most effort of trying to win. The second best was Sydelle because she started off being the closes to winning. All of the heirs got some of the prize at the end.

there are 16 players two for each table and each set get a copy of there own personal will and clues with a check for $10,000. The pairs must figure out the murderer before or by the date of being to win the game
The rules of the Westing game are: there are 16 total players, divided into 8 pairs; each pair receives $10,000 and one set of clues; if any player drops out, the partner must also leave the game and they have to return the $10,000; absent pairs forfeit the $10,000 and their clues will be held until the next session; players will be given 2 days’ notice of the next session where each pair will give one answer; the object of the game is to win. I think that Turtle Wexler played the game the best and Judge J. J. Ford played second-best. During most of the game, I think the judge played the best and was closest to figuring it out (especially since she had the red herring as her partner, feeding her misinformation). She had the intelligence and the money to hire a private investigator which gave her an advantage over the others. But, in the end, it was Turtle who pulled all the details together from all the pairs and made sense of it all. She was the only one who realized that the game was still not over after Sandy’s death. At this point, everyone was a winner, because they each won their apartment and their $10,000 (except the one pair that forfeited by not showing up to the first meeting.) Everyone thought the game was over, but Turtle never gave up. She continued on her own until she was able to solve the entire mystery, find Eastman (Westing), win the money, and have a lifelong friendship with “Sandy.”

There are 8 heirs who each get $10,000.And they're trying to find out who killed Sam Westing. And Sam Westing was making clues that you have to put together and put the missing letters with the clues.

The 16 heirs were put into pairs and each pair was given a set of clues. They were supposed to find out who killed Sam Westing with these clues. They were also given $10,000 at two different times per pair to use as they wished to figure it out. If you quit, then you lose the money. At the second meeting the pairs were supposed to give an answer and the pair with the correct answer wins the money. The object of the game is to win. I think that Turtle played the game the best and the judge was the second best. I think this because Turtle figured everything out and actually won. The judge figured out about Ms. Crow but couldn't figure out the last clue. All of the heirs received a prize. They all got to keep their money and they got to keep their apartments.

I think Turtle plays the game best because she actually won the game. I think J.J Ford played the game the second best because she came the second closest to figuring out the actuall answer. I think that all of the hiers do receive a prize at the end because they all ended with better lives than the begining of the book.
