We've got a mission for you in
Cheltenham
Failed scientist, Dr D. Zaster, wanted one last chance to impress. Believing that Cheltenham was famous for its Fishing Wish, he concocted a perilous plan. He instructed one of his henchmen to plant a device in the Sandford Park area of town. Once activated, the device will leak a chemical into the water of the River Chelt to make all the pond life grow to gigantic proportions!
But luckily, we have a mole in his inner circle who has revealed that the device is set to go off before the Wishing Fish chimes midnight tonight. It's a race against time to stop disaster striking Cheltenham! Our insider has scattered clues to the device's deactivation code around the area, and we need a brave super spy (that's YOU!) to sneak around, crack the clues, and decipher the code before it's too late!
