Mystery Murder Mystery by Tilda Siegal, age 9, and Nell Choi, age 17

Start

Jinu, Mystery, Abby, Baby Saja, and Romance (the Saja Boys) were taking a break after their show. Little did they know, they were in the same relaxation hotel as Rumi, Mira and Zoey (Huntrix). Mystery was finally taking a break. Or so he thought. Suddenly, someone tip-toed up behind him and killed him. Baby Saja, overcome with grief, vowed to figure out Whodunnit.

  • The one with the long braid wanted to learn magic
  • The shortest person definitely did not bring the sharpener
  • Zoey was allergic to corn
  • The one with the pigtails got lost in the maze
  • Scorch marks were found on the garden

THE BODY WAS FOUND WITH A SPELLBOOK NEXT TO IT!

Use the clues to figure out:

  • who the murderer is
  • what object they had &
  • where they were!

Suspects

Mira: insecure, but loves killing demons. Who’s next?

5’6″ • Red hair in pigtails

Zoey: a little too bubbly, eager to write insults for demons. Will she start killing soon?

5’0″ • Black hair in two buns

Rumi: wants to rid the world of demons and be free of her patterns. What will she do to make that happen?

5’4″ • Purple hair in long braid

Weapons

A heavy spellbook:

gives you wisdom… or death

A really bright light:

lets you read, or starts a small fire

An extra-big pencil sharpener: shave the pencil, not yourself.

Locations

The pool: the perfect, usually loud place to relax, or sneak up on someone

The roof garden: what’s better for the rooftop garden than to relax? Plus, there are barely any people there: all the better for a silent killing.

The corn maze: dead end or dead death.

SPOILER ALERT!
