The Coffee Cake Caper
A carnival bake-off sours when a finalist’s dough vanishes the night before judging. A cozy mystery with a fresh detective and lots of frosting.
Music optionally accompanies some parts of the story.
Game info

To start over, tap the first mention of Quibblebottom 5 times.
Hints (if stuck!)
Anna’s first task is to find the fifth suspect.
More hints
- You can eliminate choices by looking at what you have spoken to each suspect about.
- Each piece of evidence is not used more than once, and all the evidence is used.
More please
- Clues are hidden everywhere, even at the beginning of the story. Anna has a great memory and takes copious notes. You can scroll up to access both!
- You have to confront all the suspects to solve the case.
I’m lost
The fifth suspect is the easiest to confront. All the clues needed are found near where they are.
Still stuck
Before confronting the next suspect, Anna should deduce who the cars in the parking lot belong to.
Please
One of the suspects is lying about one of the other suspects.
Just one more
Anna carries a dumb phone, so you will need to help her find a place to watch any media she might come across.
Last one, I promise
One of the suspects has given you a suspicious but not-quite-inconsistent account of what one of the other suspects has told you.
