Whodunnit Daily — Answer for July 10, 2026
Today's case: The Torn Map. The expedition's only map was found torn to shreds. 4 explorers shared the tent. A hint first, then the culprit and the full reasoning. Tap the blacked-out box to reveal.
The statements
- Ines: “I didn't do it.”
- Thea: “I didn't do it.”
- Will: “It was Ines or Sam.”
- Sam: “Will is telling the truth.”
Hint
Find the statement that can't be true alongside the others. The suspect it implicates — or the one whose own claim collapses — is your liar.
The culprit
Guilty: Ines
Why (step by step)
Walk it through with Ines as the culprit: Ines said “I didn't do it.” — a lie, and since just one person lies, the guilt lands here. Thea said “I didn't do it.” — checks out as true, matching an innocent’s honest account — consistent. Will said “It was Ines or Sam.” — that statement is true, so this person can sit on the innocent side — no conflict. Sam said “Will is telling the truth.” — true — and since the innocent never lie, that fits. No other suspect can take the blame without making an innocent lie, so the deduction closes on a single name: Ines. That is the one and only consistent culprit.
