Mirror Investigations

Welcome, Investigator
Your goal is simple: figure out who killed Odessa Winters, a principal dancer at En Pointe Toronto Ballet. To solve the case, you’ll need to dig through evidence, decrypt messages, crack passwords, and rule out suspects.
There are five suspects to consider: Ella Hale, Jonas Bellamy, Leonie Ferguson, Maya Voss, and Xander Winters. They all had a motive — but four lacked the means or the opportunity to kill Odessa.
You should decrypt all encrypted messages and crack both passwords before eliminating suspects — you'll need this information to rule them out.
You don't need to make wild guesses to solve this case. Every conclusion can be reached with careful reasoning.

How to Use this Website
This website is divided into the following pages:
Getting Started — You're on this page right now. It has information on eliminating suspects, navigating the website, and suggested steps for getting started.
Encrypted Messages Help — Hints for decrypting the messages.
Passwords Help — Hints for cracking the two passwords.
Suspect Elimination Check — Go to this page when you're ready to eliminate a suspect. You can complete a quiz that will tell if you've eliminated the right suspect for the right reasons (you need to select 2 pieces of evidence to support your choice of suspect). This is optional – it's a way to check if you're on track.
Suspect Elimination Help — Go to this page if you've decrypted all messages and cracked both passwords and need help eliminating suspects.
Submit Final Answer — Go to this page once you've eliminated four suspects and know who the killer is.
Dig Deeper — Go to this page after you've eliminated four suspects but before checking the full solution. It highlights three key pieces of evidence tied to the killer’s motive and includes optional quizzes and hints to help you uncover any final insights.
Full Solution — Go to this page once you've solved the case and are ready for a full debrief. This page is password-protected, so you won’t accidentally spoil the ending.
Suggested Steps to Solve the Case
1. Read through the evidence and document where you find it (if it's hidden) using your "Evidence Tracker."
2. Decrypt encrypted messages and crack passwords before eliminating suspects.
3. Eliminate suspects and check your answers by going to the “Suspect Elimination Check” page.
You'll complete quizzes by selecting a suspect and two pieces of evidence that support eliminating them. Repeat until you’ve eliminated four suspects — and know who the killer is.
4. Not sure who to eliminate? Go to the “Suspect Elimination Help” page.
You’ll be shown four evidence items. Click on an item if you don't know why it's relevant – you'll get hints to eliminate the suspect connected to that item.
5. Check if you've solved the case by going to the "Submit Final Answer" page and entering the killer's name.
6. Visit the "Dig Deeper" page to check if you've fully explored the case.
You’ll be prompted to reflect on three important pieces of evidence — each with an optional quiz and a set of hints. This ensures you’ve uncovered the killer’s motive and pieced together the deeper story. Like all pages, it's optional — feel free to skip ahead to the full solution.
