Who Spoiled the Ending?

Two-Witness Mystery

For two players. Don’t open the answer until you’ve agreed on one.

TipOpen one step at a time. The answer always asks twice, so nothing gets spoiled by accident.

1NudgeOpen

Witness A knows the oily fingerprints mean the oil can. Witness B knows which room goes with the flashlight. Start with Sam in the attic.

2CloserOpen

The attic means the flashlight, so Sam has it. Mia never set foot in the garage. Where does that put her, and what was she holding?

3AnswerAsks twice

This shows the full answer. Sure?

Yes, show me

Aunt Lina. A puts Joe in the garden with the watering can and Sam in the attic. B says the attic means the flashlight, so Sam has it. Mia avoids the garage, so she is in the kitchen with the teapot (B), which leaves Aunt Lina in the garage with the oil can. The oily page (A) points to Lina. Nobody can solve it alone: A never learns who had the oil can, and B never learns who was in the garden or attic.

Every answer is also printed at the back of the book, with its page number.
