4th Mystery - Society of Detectives

These snow-capped mountains contain bits of temple ruins spread out beneath them. A tribe of Buddhists also dwells within the haze of the cliffs. What secrets could they possibly be hiding?

Solved Mysteries -
1st Mystery - Aphrodite's Amulet Solved
The amulet has no magical powers; the masked Baron used a handful of wires and papier-mâché boulders to trick us. He and his companions created the myth of the stone to drum up success for the item. The rock's retail price is less than one dollar.
2nd Mystery - Flora's Disappearance Solved
Flora, similar to many other cases, was mind-controlled by the Baron's music. Her memory was wiped by the alluring melody, and she then took up a position at the Arrow Zeppelin for two years. Her original reason for boarding the flying vessel was purely to enjoy some leisure.
3rd Mystery - Psychedelic Music Solved
Baron's use of speakers and noise machines throughout the Arrow Zeppelin was all for the purpose of mind-controlling the staff and various guests. He could use these psychedelic beats to frame people for crimes they didn't commit and make his workers operate more diligently.

8th Mystery - Hooded Figure Solved
The hooded figure turned out to be Baron, just playing dress-up. Our pursuit of the masked figure into the snowy tundra was all an elaborate stage performance that used hooks and stunt doubles to strengthen the jewelry's magical rumors.
