The Following message was recently sent by Mr. Sherlock Holmes:
“Watson, I need you to help in a grave matter that has recently been brought to my attention by Scotland Yard. I am currently out of the country helping the Crown Prince of Bohemia in a most delicate personal matter, so you must work alone to try to solve this most heinous murder. When you find the pertinent information that I have placed in a container at the above coordinates use it to investigate this sinister plot. “
“All of the clues can be reached by driving a buggy close to the locations where you will need to investigate. Noting your aversion to physical exertion there is no need for extensive overland trekking or athletic stunts during your search.”
“As always Watson, be sure to note everything you observe - as clues can be anywhere. You may have to rely on your keen sense of direction, your ability to cipher numbers and your uncanny ability at decrypting codes while puzzling over this terrible crime. It might be of assistance if you brought along the following:”
1) A GPS
2) A magnifying glass
3) A compass
4) A pencil & paper to write and calculate on
5) A flashlight
6) Some water
7) A sense of humor
“Once you have solved this dastardly murder you should be able to use this information to locate the treasure that is hidden nearby. Please leave a note in the container and take any treasures that you are directed to recover. There may also be some trinkets that you can exchange for the ones that I know you always carry with you.”
THE GAME IS AFOOT!
