Climax

The competitors piece together all of the clues. It turned out to spell "America the Beautiful" with several letters missing that spelled "Berthe Erica Crow." All of the game players think Crow is the murderer and she is arrested.

The climax of the story is when the bombings happen, one in Theodorakis' coffee shop, one in Hoo's Restaurant, and one at Angela's bridal shower. Everyone is scrambling to find the answer of who the bomber is, and still, who the murderer of Sam Westing.

Random Fact!

Exposition

The exposition is when the specially selected tenants are invited by Barney Northrup to live at Sunset Towers. We meet each of the characters and their personalities. The author starts off by telling us that "one was a bookie, one was a burglar, one was a bomber, and one was a mistake", to raise suspense and acts as a hook to keep the readers interested.

Random Fact!

Ellen Raskin wrote a book called Tattooed Potato and Other Clues.

Rising Action

All of the tenants learn about the Westing Game. They get paired up to play and every team wanted to win. The groups start to find clues and link them to everything possible. The objective of the Westing Game is to find out who the murderer of Sam Westing is.
