Try to only reveal as much as you need 👀

📍 1. START

🏫 2. SCHOOL HALL

  • Take a proper look around… not everything is just decoration. Check all the walls and noticeboards

  • Check any signs or notices carefully. At least one of them is a clue

  • There’s a notice about something found the morning after the theft. What does it say?

  • A handbag was found where the eggs were stolen. That feels important…

  • Could it belong to the thief? Head to Lost and Found opposite the toilets to investigate further.

🎒 3. LOST AND FOUND

  • It’s located opposite the toilets.

  • Oh no… it’s closed. But don’t give up — read the sign carefully.

  • The sign explains what to do next. You’ll need to follow instructions to access items.

  • You’re told to check their Instagram and call to arrange collection. View the catalogue, what Item number is the handbag?

  • Look closely at all the photos in the catalogue. Are there any clues hidden in what you can see?


    There are two images of the handbag… have you checked both?

  • You need to find the handbag’s item number, that is the last digit to complete the phone number you need for the next clue.

  • The handbag is listed as Item 7.

  • The handbag is listed as Item 7. So the phone number to arrange collection is 07457 410 9587. Go ahead… give it a ring. The next clue is waiting.

🏀 4. THE LETTER

  • The voicemail mentioned a new location… where was it? There has been “suspicious activity” somewhere. You’ll need to go and check it out.

  • The location mentioned is the basketball courts. Where have you seen a basketball hoop?

  • The basketball courts are on the playground. Once you’re there, look carefully… is anything out of place?

  • Check the basketball hoop 👀

  • There’s a letter tied to the hoop.

  • The letter isn’t written in plain English… it’s in code. Have you seen anything earlier that might indicate the type of code it is in? Take a closer look at the handbag images from Lost & Found… anything useful?

  • There’s a beginner’s guide to Morse code in the handbag photos. You could google morse code to help decode the letter? You don’t have to rely on that alone… there was also something back in the school hall that could help.

  • There’s a Morse code poster in the school hall. Decode the letter carefully… what does it say?

  • Once decoded the letter says to follow the trail through the woods. That’s your next step.

🌲 5. WOODLAND TRAIL

  • The letter told you where to go next… but what exactly are you looking for?

  • You’re following a trail — not a single clue. Keep your eyes up as well as down… the clues aren’t on the ground. Look closely at the trees 👀Something has been left behind to guide you…

  • You’re looking for chocolate wrappers.

  • They’ve been placed to create a trail — follow them carefully. Stay on the trail… don’t get distracted. At the end of the trail, you should find something important. Have you found it yet?

  • You’re looking for a missing phone.

  • Take a closer look at the phone… there’s something on it. There’s a QR code attached. Scan it. That will unlock the next stage of the mystery…

📱 6. THE PHONE

  • You’ve scanned the QR code… but you’re not quite in yet. The phone is locked. You’ll need a PIN.

    Enter the pin here if you can’t scan the QR code:

  • Have you seen a PIN number anywhere during your investigation that could be important?

  • Think back to the Lost & Found catalogue

  • Take another look at the handbag photos 👀Was there anything written down? A number, perhaps? There was a note visible in the handbag images.

  • The PIN is 7338. Enter the PIN to unlock the phone. Inside the phone, you’ll find a text conversation.

💬 7. Text Messages

  • Inside the phone, you’ll find a text conversation. Read the messages carefully… they reveal something important.

  • The thieves mention where they are staying.

  • You’re looking for a pitch number.

  • You’re looking for a pitch number.

  • Now you need to work out who is staying on that pitch. Have you seen anything that lists pitch numbers and names?

  • Think back to the Lost & Found catalogue…

  • There was a clipboard showing pitch numbers and guest names. Find Pitch 17 on that list.

  • Who is listed as staying in Pitch 17? Could they be the thieves?

  • Mr & Mrs Hunt are staying at Pitch 17. Try that on the answer page. It has to be typed EXACTLY as it is shown on the steward sheet. “Mr & Mrs Hunt”
