How to Solve a Winter Mystery in Stardew Valley
Solving the Winter Mystery in Stardew Valley is all about tracking down the shadowy figure known as the 'Shadow Guy'. You'll first need to spot a suspicious figure outside your farm during Winter. Once you chase him, he’ll lead you to the Bus Stop area, then disappear. Look around for a set of footsteps that only appear in Winter, leading to a bush next to the playground. Interact with this bush, and voila! You've solved the mystery and will be rewarded with the Magnifying Glass, letting you find Secret Notes across the valley.

Just check the bush near the playground during Winter after you see a shadow dude. Easy peasy, mystery solved.
Honestly, the best part about the Winter Mystery quest is stumbling upon it without any idea it exists. It's like the game throws you a curveball of curiosity during the serene, snowy season. Following those footsteps for the first time was one of my favorite 'what the heck is happening' moments.
