When a monster has several equally valid destinations or prey, or ties on distance, who chooses?

The rulebook settles ties for destinations and the leader decides disagreements; the closest-first rule for prey comes from agreeing community posts relaying FFG replies.

The closer option always comes first, and that applies to prey as well as destinations. If the options are still equally close, the investigators as a group choose, and if they cannot agree the leader decides. For a Hunter tied on clues or another measure, the closest tied investigator is the target.
