Task 1: Eliminate a Suspect
Complete the quiz below to eliminate a suspect.
To get this question correct, you need to select the correct suspect, the evidence that show why the suspect can be eliminated (there are 3 correct pieces of evidence, you need to get at least 2 right) and the correct reason why the suspect can be eliminated (i.e. did they lack the means or the opportunity to commit the crime?)

Hints: Task 1 — Eliminate a Suspect
Hint #1
This suspect can be eliminated because they lacked the "means" to commit the crime. Read the "Forensic Analysis Report" carefully.
Hint #2
Do any of the suspects have any allergies?
Hint #3
The forensic analysis report tells us Summer's killer wore KGX gloves. What do we know about KGX gloves? Are they mentioned anywhere else?
Hint #4
Have a look at the "Mercy Hospital Staff Schedule", paying special attention to the back.
Hint #5
Read the "Mercy Hospital Discharge Summary" carefully.
Hint #6
If you're stuck make sure you read the ad on the back of the "Mercy Hospital Staff Schedule" very carefully (including fine print!)
Hint #7
The hospital discharge summary mentions Luna's allergies.
Hint #8/Answer
Luna is allergic to latex, but we know Summer's killer wore latex gloves. We can eliminate Luna.
The relevant pieces of evidence are: Mercy Hospital Discharge Summary (mentions Luna's latex allergy), the Forensic Analysis Report (tells us that Summer's killer wore KGX gloves), and the Mercy Hospital Staff Schedule (on the back, there's an ad sponsored by KGX gloves — the ad says that KGX only manufactures latex gloves).
Task #2 Quiz (Which suspect lied to police about their whereabouts on the morning of September 14th?)
As of right now, we know that at least one suspect lied to police (either through their witness statement or through their interview) about where they were on the morning of September 14th. Who lied?
Hints: Task 2 — Who Lied About Their Alibi?
Click through these hints if you're not sure which suspect lied to the police about their alibi.
Hint #1
Make sure you've read the witness statements and police interviews carefully.
Hint #2
Read the police notebook carefully. Is there any information in the police notebook that corroborates or contradicts any of the suspects' alibis?
Hint #3
The police notebook mentions pulling over "Cynthia Artell" for speeding. Who is Cynthia?
Hint #4
If you're not sure who Cynthia is, reread Summer's blog, the witness statements, and the Seattle Crime magazine.
Hint #5
On her blog, Summer mentions that Harrison's sister is married to a dentist named Malcolm. Harrison mentions his sister in his witness statement.
Hint #6
Can you figure out Harrison's sister's last name? You can't assume it's Lachance (she might have taken Malcom's last name). If you're not sure, have another look at the Seattle Crime magazine and pay special attention to the ads.
Hint #7
One of the ads is for a dental practice. The practice lists "Malcolm Artell" as one of the dentists. We can infer that Harrison's sister, Cynthia, is Cynthia Artell (because we know from Summer's blog that Harrison's sister, Cynthia, is married to a dentist named Malcolm who lives in Seattle).
Hint #8Answer
Harrison's witness statement says he was at Cynthia's house, with Cynthia, from 9-11AM (on September 14th) and neither of them left. The police notebook says Cynthia Artell was pulled over at 10:16AM on September 14th. Harrison lied about his alibi.
Eliminated Suspect's Motive
Only do this quiz after you've eliminated a suspect (task 1).
Hints: Checkpoint #1 - Eliminated Suspect's Motive
Only do this checkpoint after you've eliminated a suspect (task 1)
Hint #1
In part 1, you unlocked the grey safe bag, which was Luna's. Inside it, there is a small note that's from Harrison and written to "Bumblebee". In the pink sparkly bag (also from Part 1), there's a prom ticket from Harrison that's also written to "Bumblee" .
Hint #2
Did Luna and Harrison end up going to prom together? If you're not sure, check the yearbook.
Hint #3
The pink sparkly bag has a spell in it. Read the spell and look at everything in the bag. Who is the spell being cast against?
Hint #4/Answer
Luna's plausible motive is to eliminate a romantic rival.
Luna and Harrison dated in high school. Luna is "Bumblebee". Luna and Harrison were going to go to prom together, but Summer and Harrison were crowned (in the yearbook awards) as "Most Likely To Get Married". Clearly, somethign went wrong for Harrison and Luna. And judging by the fact that Luna is trying to curse Summer (the pink bag is Luna's, in it there's a revenge spell - part of the spell calls for a picture of the person you're trying to curse/the person who wronged you. There's a picture of Summer in the bag.), it's safe to assume that Luna blames Summer for her and Harrison's breakup and still harbors feelings towards Harrison (seeing as she still carries around a bag with a valentine note from him).
Checkpoint #3: Who does the scrunchie belong to?
Select the person the scrunchie belongs to (or if it's unknown, select "unknown").
Hints: Checkpoint #3 — Who does the scrunchie belong to?
Hint #1
There's a QR code on the back of the "Nuvo" business card. Did you explore it? (www.nuvoseattle.com)
Hint #2
Look through all the pages on Nuvo's website and pay special attention to all pictures.
Hint #3/Answer
There's a picture on Nuvo's website of Medina wearing the scrunchie. The scrunchie is Medina's.
Checkpoint #4: What piece of evidence can the lipstick be linked to?
From the list of options below, select the piece of evidence that the lipstick can be linked to. There is only one right answer in the list below.
Hints: Checkpoint #4: What piece of evidence can the lipstick be linked to?
Hint #5
Have you tried opening the lipstick? There's something inside.
Hint #2
This note was found in an envelope (labelled Evidence #844B) that contained ripped up/shredded pieces of a floor plan/office layout. This floor plan/layout is important. Try and put it back together (like a puzzle).
Hint #3
Read the blog post titled "First Date."
Hint #4
Summer's "First Date" blog post has a photo of a board game. In the post, Summer mentions that she and her date both took "souvenirs". Does anything in the boardgame photo look familiar?
Hint #5
Have you opened up the scrunchie? There's a zipper on its side, and there are two things inside the scrunchie.
Hint #6/Answer
There is a blue die inside the scrunchie.
Inside the lipstick, there's an orange board game piece.
The blue die and orange board game piece are in the photo of Summer's "First Date" boardgame photo. Summer says she and her date both took souvenirs. The blue die and the orange board game piece are the "souvenirs" Summer and her date took.
The correct answer is blue die.
Checkpoint #4: Who does the lipstick belong to?
Only do this checkpoint once you've done the previous checkpoint (figured out the connecting piece of evidence for the lipstick).
Checkpoint #4: Who does the lipstick belong to?
Only answer this checkpoint once you've answered the previous checkpoint correctly (what piece of evidence can the lipstick be linked to).
Hint #1
If you're not sure who the lipstick belongs to, you need to figure out who the scrunchie belongs to. Summer says she and her date each took one souvenir. Whoever owns the scrunchie took the blue die, and the other person took the orange board game piece. Whoever took the orange board game piece owns the lipstick.
To figure out who the scrunchie belongs to, take a look at the hints for the scrunchie checkpoint from part two.
Hint #2/Answer
The scrunchie is Medinas, so Medina must have gotten the blue die as a "souvenir" while Summer got the orange board game piece. The lipstick is Summer's.
Task #1: Unlock the basketball bag
If you've unlocked the basketball bag, you've successfully completed the task. If you're not sure if your lock is working and want to check you got the right answer, click here.
Hints: Unlock the Basketball Bag (Task 1)
Hint #1
To figure out whose bag it is, read the yearbook.
Hint #2
The yearbook says Harrison was the captain of the basketball team. The bag is Harrison's. Can you find any clues about what Harrison might use for a 3 number password?
Hint #3
There is a printout of "SecureLogix Security Questions" for Harrison (from Part 22). One of the account recovery questions has a 3 digit answer format (Harrison's lucky day).
Hint #4
To figure out Harrison's lucky day, read the yearbook carefully (the yearbook is Harrison's).
Hint #5
Pay special attention to the autographs page.
Answer
One of the autographs mentions that Harrison won 10k on a scratch ticket in grade 10 on April Fool's day. Harrison graduated in 2002, so Harrison would have been in grade 10 from 1999-2000. Harrison's lucky day is April 1st, 2000. Translated into dmy format, this becomes: 140. The password to open the basketball bag is 140.
