How to Solve a Mystery

To give yourself the best chance of cracking the case at Nevermore, check out these pro mystery-solving tips:

  • Be observant . To find clues, you'll need to observe your surroundings (and other people) carefully. What stands out? Is anything out of place? Does a witness's story not add up? Paying attention to these things will help you find your next lead.
  • Make a timeline using interviews and clues . If someone is missing, what time were they last seen? If you have a clue indicating they were in the library on Friday night, add that to your timeline. Once you start piecing together a timeline of events, you'll be that much closer to solving the case.
  • Consider people's motives . To help you narrow down your list of suspects, ask yourself what each person's motive would be for getting up to nefarious things at the academy. Do they have an incentive to get another student expelled? Are they desperate to be the best in class? Could someone be blackmailing them? Considering the motives can help you piece the puzzle together.
  • Connect all of the dots after your investigation . Once you've found clues, talked to witnesses, and whittled down your suspect list, it's time to come up with a theory of what happened. Use logic and deduction to bring everything together, and then you'll finally solve the case!
