The story so far...
The year was 1813, while researching in the family archives a young John Crichton-Stuart - 2nd Marquess of Bute, came across a long forgotten text that seemed to speak of the supernatural. Very soon the three symbols from the manuscript started appearing around the city. After a week the Marquess had decoded it as some kind of ritual and their meanings as: truth, fire and death. Arriving at the scene the next day he was too late, an innocent woman was found murdered nearby.
Now, over 200 years later, it could be happening again. Having received a ominous video message Detective Ranney has once again enlisted your help with this new case. It's been a week already and the race is on, with the Marquess' old notes and contemporary clues, you must solve the mystery of the Obeli and save the next victim before it's too late.
On event days players need to bring their printed tickets to the Rules of Play store in the Castle Arcade from 10am-12pm. Players then have until 4pm to finish the game - it should take between 2-3 hours to complete.
