Murder Mystery


Murder Mystery #1

John, Paul, George and Ringo all live in the same house.

One day, John and Paul go out to see a movie.

When they return home, Ringo is dead!

He is lying on the floor in a puddle of water and broken glass.

It is obvious that George is the killer – but he won’t be punished.

Why not?

 

Answer:

George is a cat. Ringo is a fish.

The cat knocked over the fish bowl. So, Ringo died in a puddle of water and broken glass.

 

Your partner will ask you questions. You can only answer YES or NO.

Give hints when you partner asks for them:

Hint #1: George and Ringo are naked.

Hint #2: Ringo has no legs.

Hint #3: Ringo is not an apple.

Hint #4: George and Ringo are not human.

 

Murder Mystery #2

A man left home running as fast as he could.

After a short time, he turned left and continued running.

Then he turned left, running even faster.

He turned left once more, running back towards home.

In the distance he could see a masked man waiting for him at home.

So, he stopped and ran back the other way.

Who is the masked man?

 

Ask your partner Yes/No questions to solve the mystery.

eg: Does the masked man have a gun? / Is the runner a criminal? / Is the home beautiful? / etc…
