20/04/17 EVENT POSTPONED - new date will be confirmed next week

Mansfield BID are proud to present this new, one-day live adventure game in partnership with Casebook Events.

Detective Inspector Ranney of the local constabulary has asked for your expertise with a difficult case. The disappearance of Professor Macclesbury, a university Professor who was researching Mansfield’s hidden subterranean areas. The Professor was a well-connected man. With pressure coming down on the Inspector from the university and the local council and a pile of unsolved cases backlogged he’s brought you in to lend a hand. He’ll give you everything he’s got on the Professor in his case-file but the rest is up to you. Out of time and out of luck, he’s counting on you to help solve this mystery - but everything isn’t quite as it seems and a dark cloud of conspiracy hangs over the town. With twists and turns that include a thousand year-old legend and a mythical ancient treasure this is one adventure that you’ll never forget.

About

Casefile: The Mystery of the Star-Eaters is a live choose your own adventure game where you play as a ‘consulting detective’ for the local constabulary.

For one day only on Saturday 22nd April, over a dozen secret locations around Mansfield town centre, some usually off-limits to the public, will be taking part in the game.

Players will be able to collect their manila casefiles at any time in the morning and begin their adventure by following the threads of information - wherever they may take them. Piece together the trail left behind by the Professor, question witnesses and solve the puzzles as the incredible story is slowly revealed to you.

The game will take approximately 2-3 hours to play with players free to complete it at any time from 10am until 4pm.

Although the game is designed for adults a mini-mystery trail sheet will be provided to under 12 year-olds that they can play alongside the main game.
