How To Solve a Winter Mystery Quest

After you encounter the shadowy figure and you receive the quest outline, head into Pelican Town. When you are in the town, head up to Pierre's shop and walk past the Doctor's Surgery on the left. Keep walking until you come across the set of steps that lead up to the Community Center area.

If you look on the ground, you should see a set of small footprints in the snow that lead up those steps. Follow the footprint trail up the steps and to the fountain. They will stop because of the fountain but they continue on the other side.

Keep following the footprints up to the playground area. They should lead you straight to a large bush. All you need to do is walk behind this bush and press your action button to get the shadowy figure to jump out. They will rapidly apologize for stealing something and hand it back to you before disappearing again. This is how you get your Magnifying Glass for reading secret notes.
