Setting the Scene
The beach
An amusement park. The screams were from a roller coaster!
Making Up a Mystery
The Right Clues for You
A clown
A dentist (the minty string was dental floss)
A super strong robot with wheels instead of legs (the note was written in “binary,” a language used by computers with ones and zeros instead of letters of the alphabet)
Where Will the Clues Lead?
A pizza restaurant
Somewhere with lots of dogs. A dog pound, dog kennel, dog park, or doggy day care. The detective will just have to see which of those might be nearby.
Catching the Witness in a Lie
In the middle of the night with no power, no moon, no stars or flashlight to see by, how did this person see a clown through a window 100 feet away? Even if they somehow saw the clown, how in the world would they be able to see dark blue beanbags?
There was no Internet in 1979.
