🎨 The Gallery Heist Mystery
Four guards give alibis, but only one is lying. Use logic to figure out which guard isn’t telling the truth.
Ready for a bit of artful deception? 🎨🕵️ Fun fact: the Mona Lisa was once stolen in 1911, and for two years people had no idea where she was — even Picasso was questioned! Today’s riddle drops you into a modern gallery heist where four guards tell their stories. Only one is lying… but can you spot the culprit?
A famous art gallery reports a theft. Four guards were on duty that night:
Maya said she was patrolling the west wing.
Leo said he never left the lobby.
Nora said she saw Maya in the east wing.
Sam said he was checking cameras in the security office.
The gallery’s rule: each guard covers a different area — no overlaps allowed.
The director knows exactly one guard is lying.
Who is the liar? 🎨🕵️
If you tried to trust Nora, you probably ran into trouble. The key is remembering the rule: no two guards can patrol the same area. One testimony directly clashes with another, and only one liar is allowed — which means the odd one out is crystal clear once you track overlaps.
