Missing persons: timeline clues Quiz

About this quiz

What you’ll do in this quiz

Each question gives you a mini “last known timeline” scenario and asks you to identify the strongest clue, the most likely sequence, or the key inconsistency. You’ll practice turning scattered details into an ordered timeline without jumping to conclusions.

The quiz uses 4 options per question and there’s no timer, so you can reread carefully and weigh each choice.

Difficulty and question settings

Difficulty is mixed on purpose: easier items focus on obvious ordering and time gaps, while harder ones add conflicting statements, indirect timestamps, or missing context. Choose your preferred question count and difficulty before you start to tailor the session to a quick warm-up or a longer deep dive.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many misses come from assuming a detail is confirmed when it’s only reported, or from ignoring the difference between “last seen” and “last verified contact.” Watch for time zones, vague time windows, and whether a clue is a primary record (receipt, ping) versus a secondhand account.

Treat “reported at” and “occurred at” as different timestamps
Check for gaps where no verified activity exists
Separate sightings, digital traces, and confirmed transactions
Notice qualifiers like “around,” “approximately,” and “possibly”
Prefer corroborated details over single-witness claims

How to improve your score

Build the timeline first, then evaluate which option best fits the confirmed sequence; don’t hunt for a dramatic theory. If two answers seem close, pick the one anchored to the most reliable, time-stamped evidence.
