In honor of the 20th Anniversary of the Hardy Boys Casefiles, you now have the opportunity to participate in your own investigation and win a handful of Casefiles in the process. 

There are 10 Hardy Boys Casefiles Trivia questions that need to be answered.  Each question gets a little harder.  Several of the first answers can be found within this site and the Hardy Boys Casefiles Encyclopedia.  Several of the harder answers will only be found by reading the books. 

Basic rules and details can be found on the contest page.  If you have any questions don't hesitate to post them in this topic.
