You may be wondering how I got into this situation. That's good. Keep wondering. If you pay close attention to the rest of this movie and employ your critical thinking skills, you may find that the answer unfolds as it goes along. Sometimes it's good not to know yet, and to wonder. Sometimes that's the entire point.

Welcome to an ArtFight 10th Anniversary Murder Mystery that you can solve with YOUR art!

You and your OC's have been invited to a party at a grand manor... but there's been a deadly twist! Our poor host- They Never Saw It Coming!

TO PLAY: 1. On ArtFight.net, attack any of our ArtFight 2026 Sona designs (see below), referencing the answer to the most recent clue. You can reference this answer in your art or its description.

2. When someone has the right answer, we'll reveal the next clue of the mystery. We may include OC's in these reveals, but the choice is up to the artist so please don't be disappointed if you're not chosen!

3. Good luck in assisting Detective Pearl in her investigation!

This collaboration between @cadaverkeys, @nileferg, @utterhomestucktrash, @peejalien and myself is our celebration of the ArtFight community. We hope you enjoy!

Keep track of the story and most recent clue at out our website!

CLUE ONE can be found at the end of our video. What's going on with that mysterious gramophone?
