* The first murder in ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'' is an unintentional example, as the victim literally [[CouldntFindAPen writes the killer's name in their own blood]], but upside-down, backwards, and in English, so the Japanese-speaking cast think that it's a number (as a Japanese audience would most likely assume as well.) Western players, however, would see the clue for what it is right away, and thus the mystery for them is more about ''how'' the killer got into Makoto's bedroom to kill the victim, which is important to figuring out the case anyway and [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools is a far more compelling mystery]].

The "mystery" for the viewer is not "who is the murderer?" but instead "how will the case be solved?." After the beginning of the episode, the audience will know the perpetrator, the crime scene, the murder, and sometimes the motive, perhaps in more detail than the detective will ''ever'' know. For the viewer, the question is: how will the detective solve what appears to be [[ThePerfectCrime a perfect crime]]?
