Stop the Madness at the Magic Roundabout!
Bonkers architect Zebedee Goldfinger is on a mission. His boring, 'brutalist' style of dull grey buildings has not been in fashion for many decades. In 2013, Hemel Hempstead won a popular vote to be named 'Britain's ugliest town'. Now Goldfinger wants the accolade again, but Hemel's town planners will not approve his ghastly building plans. In a blackmail message to the planning department, Goldfinger has issued the sinister warning, "Let me build my fabulous, ugly building, or I'll ensure chaos and carnage is unleashed on your precious Magic Roundabout!" Just how the madman plans to carry out his threat we don't know, but just to be sure, we're calling on YOU, our top secret agents in the area, to follow the Trail of Clues he has left around the town and discover the deactivation code for Goldfinger's mysterious mayhem machine!

Bonkers architect Zebedee Goldfinger has a wild plan and he's determined to see it through. But with your spy skills and clever thinking, you can crack the code and stop the madness at the Magic Roundabout before it's too late!
