Actually, there is no murder mystery problem presented in the image you uploaded.

The image shows a grid of 12 cartoon-style character profiles, each with:

- Name
- Age
- From (city)
- Pet
- Favorite color
- Favorite food

But there are no clues, no questions, no narrative, and no indication of who was murdered or who the suspect is. It’s simply a collection of character cards — perhaps intended as a *template* for a murder mystery game, or a *starting point* for students to create their own mystery.

What You Likely Need to Do:



Since this is labeled “Murder Mystery,” but lacks actual mystery elements, you probably need to:

1. Create your own mystery using these characters.
2. Assign one person as the victim.
3. Assign one person as the murderer.
4. Write 3–5 clues that logically point to the murderer based on the details provided (e.g., pet, favorite color, food, city, etc.).
5. Challenge someone else to solve it using only the clues.

🕵️ Example Mini-Mystery You Could Create:



> Victim: Arthur Kent (age 68, from Singapore, no pet, favorite color: yellow, favorite food: cheese)
> Murderer: Thomas Lambert (age 68, from Singapore, pet: goldfish, favorite color: red, favorite food: roast mutton)

> Clues:
> 1. The murderer shares the same age and hometown as the victim.
> 2. The murderer’s favorite color is the opposite of the victim’s (red vs. yellow — both warm colors, but red is more aggressive).
> 3. The murderer’s favorite food is meat-based, while the victim preferred cheese — suggesting a dietary conflict.
> 4. The murderer owns a goldfish — which could be used as a red herring (pun intended), since fish don’t typically commit murders... unless it’s symbolic!

> Solution: Thomas Lambert — because he matches the victim’s age and location, and has contrasting preferences that suggest motive or opportunity.

📌 Summary:



You didn’t upload a *solved* murder mystery — you uploaded a *blank template* for one. To “solve” it, you must first *create* the mystery using the characters’ traits.

If you were given specific clues elsewhere (in text, verbally, or in another part of the worksheet), please share them — and I’ll solve it for you!

Otherwise, treat this as a creative puzzle — have fun building your own mystery! 🕵️‍♀️🔍
