A mystery is waiting to be solved in

The small village of Barton-under-Needwood was abuzz with excitement as the annual Artisan Market came to town. The star of the show, Maltby Hopper, was known for his delicious craft ales and his ever-growing success as a beer entrepreneur.

With a note in his pocket reading "Ale Always Love You," the circumstances surrounding Maltby's demise were suspicious. The village's Chief Superintendent, Ivanta Crackadiscase, has called for the help of their top detective to solve this puzzling case. That's where YOU come in.
