Episode 9

Wadsworth the Butler sent a final audio clue to help solve our mystery, leaving only the teapot and shovel as options. You must determine who (Mustard, Peacock, Plum, or White) he saw at the front desk with which object. Pick up solution sheets around the building and submit your creative guess—detailing who, where, and with what—in an envelope by 3 PM. The winner will be chosen for accuracy or humor. Use past clues from the butler, maid, and suspects to deduce the answer. Good luck! Welcome, welcome, welcome. I've given up trying to tell any workplace stories for now. Instead, as you all know, we only have the teapot and the shovel left on our list of objects, and I have just been handed a note with our clue. It says, "Please excuse my absence this morning, but I provided this audio clip for your last clue. Please play it now." Signed, Wadsworth the Butler. Okay, let's see what we have here. I'm going to play this clue for you now. Hmm, that clue will really twist your whiskers. I hope some of you understand what it means and which item to eliminate. With that said, I do feel like we now have enough information to solve this mystery, and thus I have one more activity for you. We have printed out clue solution sheets, which you can find and pick up around the building. Anytime before 3 p.m. today, anyone can use these sheets to write down your answer as to what Wadsworth saw that was so concerning, detailing who, where, and with what object. Drop it into a clue answer envelope by 3 p.m. From the guesses that turn out to be correct, I'll pick one winner who most closely described the scene, or who had the most humorous or interesting answer. Here are some of the relevant clues. We know it was either Colonel Mustard, Mrs. Peacock, Professor Plum, or Miss White. We know this happened at the front desk, but we don't know if it was with the shovel or the teapot. By solving today's puzzle, you will know which of those to eliminate. But what exactly did the butler see? This part is where you will need to be creative to put down your answer. I believe if you think back to all that has been said by the butler, the maid, and the suspects, you may very well be able to imagine what could have happened. Write down what you think happened, turn in your sheet, and you could win our grand prize. Again, I am going to give the prize to the person who either gets it exactly right or the person who has the funniest answer. Have fun with it, turn in your answers by 3 p.m., and good luck. Thank you all again for helping to solve this mystery. Good day.
