Planning process

The organizer releases the display list, care note and transfer record in order. Teams distinguish the permission, reason and actual movement. The shaded-shelf destination is present in the final evidence before the host asks for a theory.

Result explanation

The solution is supported by both a general instruction and a signed specific transfer. The model maker’s concern is understandable, but no hidden culprit is required to explain the empty stand.

Alternative

Turn the reveal into a shared search for a labelled paper shelf card without physical movement around the venue.

Execution notes

Use a prop model or printed representation. Never move a real guest’s artwork or belongings as an unannounced part of the game.
