Whodunnit Daily — Answer for June 15, 2026
Today's case: The Poisoned Cup. A guest's cup was tampered with at the banquet. 3 servers worked that table. A hint first, then the culprit and the full reasoning. Tap the blacked-out box to reveal.
The statements
- Ava: “Hana is innocent.”
- Hana: “I didn't do it.”
- Ivo: “It was Ava.”
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: Ivo
Why (step by step)
Start by assuming Ivo is the guilty one and follow the chain. Ava said “Hana is innocent.” — that is TRUE, which is exactly what an innocent suspect must say — fine. Hana said “I didn't do it.” — true — and since the innocent never lie, that fits. Ivo said “It was Ava.” — that is FALSE — and the guilty one is the single liar, so this fits. All 3 statements stay consistent only when Ivo is the liar. Test any other suspect and the truth/lie pattern breaks somewhere, so Ivo is the unique solution.
