Whodunnit Daily — Answer for July 14, 2026
Today's case: The Tampered Scoreboard. The final score was altered after the buzzer. 3 officials could reach the booth. A hint first, then the culprit and the full reasoning. Tap the blacked-out box to reveal.
The statements
- Reed: “I didn't do it.”
- Ava: “Reed is telling the truth.”
- Bea: “It was Reed.”
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: Bea
Why (step by step)
Walk it through with Bea as the culprit: Reed said “I didn't do it.” — checks out as true, matching an innocent’s honest account — consistent. Ava said “Reed is telling the truth.” — that holds up, and an innocent person tells the truth — consistent. Bea said “It was Reed.” — that statement is a lie, which is precisely the tell of the guilty suspect. No other suspect can take the blame without making an innocent lie, so the deduction closes on a single name: Bea. That is the one and only consistent culprit.
