Mystery #1: The Case of the Vanishing Beans
🚨 Start Date: March 1st | 🔎 Winner Announced: September 1st
It started like any other morning at Solid Beans Roastery. The Roaster arrived before sunrise, ready to fire up the machines and craft another perfect batch. But as he stepped inside, something felt… off. The air, usually filled with the deep, comforting aroma of freshly roasted coffee, smelled strangely empty.
He made his way to the storage room, where bags of beans from around the world were carefully stacked, waiting to be transformed into the rich blends customers loved. But when he reached the designated shelf, his heart sank—the entire shipment of Ethiopian beans was gone.
Gone. Vanished. Not a single trace of spilled beans or torn burlap. Just an empty space where the prized shipment had been the night before.
Confused, The Roaster checked the inventory logs. The beans had arrived yesterday afternoon, signed for, and stored as usual. No signs of forced entry, no alarms triggered—just an unexplained disappearance.
Then, he noticed something strange. A single coffee scoop, placed precisely in the center of the empty shelf. On its handle was a small, cryptic engraving: “Find me where the light meets the grind.”
The Roaster knew this was no ordinary theft. Someone—or something—had taken the beans, and they had left a message. But who would steal coffee without a trace? And what did the message mean?
The first clue had been left behind, and it was up to The Roaster to solve the mystery before the next batch of Riptide Espresso Blend was due.
