Someone farted in a stuck elevator and nobody is owning up. Everyone makes one statement. The culprit always lies. Work out who is lying and you'll know who did it. Every puzzle has exactly one answer, and you never need to guess.
Rules
1
Read the elevator notice
It tells you today's rule: usually only the culprit lies, but later in the week an innocent person may lie too, or there may be two culprits.
2
Read what everyone says
Each person makes one statement about who did it, who is lying, or where the culprit is standing. Spots are numbered 1 to 7 from left to right.
3
Mark your suspects
Tap a person to mark them 😇 innocent or 🤔 suspicious. Marks are just notes for you and never count against you.
4
Accuse
Tap Accuse, then tap the culprit. Accuse the wrong person and the doors open, the culprit gets away, and everyone goes home green. So don't guess: work it out first.
The week
Puzzles get harder from Monday to Sunday, like a newspaper crossword.
Mon
Only the culprit lies. A gentle start.
★☆☆☆☆
Tue
Statements about where people are standing. Marcel the mime often rides along, pointing.
★★☆☆☆
Wed
Biscuit the dog is in the elevator. He can't talk, but he can be guilty.
★★☆☆☆
Thu
One innocent person is also lying.
★★★☆☆
Fri
If-then statements.
★★★★☆
Sat
Silent But Deadly: two culprits.
★★★★☆
Sun
Seven people, a packed elevator, and an innocent liar.
Assume one person did it. Their statement must be false and everyone else's must be true, except on innocent-liar days, when exactly one other statement is false too. If that breaks something, cross them off. On Saturdays, assume a pair.
💡 Look for people who accuse each other
If Karen says Rosa is lying, one of them is lying. When only the culprit lies, one of those two did it.
💡 Sniff when you're stuck
A sniff tells you something about where the culprit is standing. It shows on your shared result, so use it wisely.
