Sam Westing claimed he had 16 nieces and nephews to create a sense of mystery and intrigue surrounding his will in "The Westing Game." This statement was part of his elaborate game to challenge the heirs and keep them guessing about their connections to him. By emphasizing the number of relatives, he aimed to engage them in solving the puzzle of his death while also reflecting on the theme of family dynamics and competition. Ultimately, it served as a clever plot device to drive the narrative forward.
