Brain Teasers
Deadly Sleep Over
Situation
Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.Situation
Tom had a sleepover and invited all his friends over. They played video games, watched movies, watched TV, and roughed around. Everyone fell asleep, except for Tom and his bud Mike. Finally, Tom fell asleep. When he woke up in the morning, he saw that all his friends were murdered, and Mike was the only one alive. Mike was awake and had blood all over himself. He screamed at Tom, "I didn't do it!" How come Tom believed him?
Hint

OOOHH, I'm the first, it was well written and I thought it was from a game of some kind. Clever, and would like to see more of these
i was thinking he killed his friends himself
serpios, explain how someone ties their arms and legs, and I will correct my teaser.
i for one liked it. very original. good one.
hey great teaser i can't believe i didn't get that
Nice one, got me thinking.
nice , but so sad
Tinman great teaser. I can't wait to have a sleep over where we tell stories. I'll wait to share the ending. I really enjoyed it!
Pretty good, but a little ambiguous.
It was very hard to figure out that Mike was tied up!!!
hmmm i thought that HE did it...interesting LoL
same here... i didnt know mike was tied up!!!!!!
That is why it was a situation, you don't know it. you have to figure it out.
Interesting... never thought of it that way!
But why were Mike and the kid still alive if every else was dead?
Eh...rrright.
I liked it. I always have a difficult time figuring out the situation teasers.
Or Tom did it himself. Why he spared Mike - who knows?
I thought it was kinda dull, and it was 2 hard 2 figure out.
This Teaser was OK. I mean who knew?
This one confused me a bit but it was still pretty good!
there wasn't a hint about him being tied up How could anyone know how it wasn't Mike.It was an OK teaser
umm.... okay, but I think that you should've probably at least hinted that mike was tied up....but it was still a great idea!
I ACTUALLY got this one!!! great teaser, but really easy
Before the hint: Tom did it!!!
After the hint: Oh...Mike was tied up...
After the hint: Oh...Mike was tied up...
I wonder who really did it...not Tom, right?
Wow... I can't say that's a very cheerful teaser, but it wasn't bad. Tom would certainly be a likely suspect, but it's also possible that Mike was the murderer and one of his victims was not killed immediately and managed to tie Mike up before dying (maybe in an effort to save Tom?).
aww poor peoplerez
but ANYWAYS... good teaser. lolz
but ANYWAYS... good teaser. lolz
I thought that Tom was sleep walking. Great Teaser! (kinda creepy)
I thought for sure something happened because all of them being actually killed was way too dark and scary.
There is a simpler solution: Tom did it. He therefore knew that Mike didn't and, obviously, believed him when he said so.
Tom believed him because he's a trump fan, believes totally obvious lies
