The Mysterious Silk Thief - Can YOU Catch Them in the Act?

Something strange is happening at the Derby Silk Mill-the town's most famous silk factory. The owner, Manda Plant, was discovered in a rather unusual state-wrapped in silk from head to toe. The detectives have interviewed several witnesses and have drawn up a list of suspects, but none of the evidence seems to point to a culprit. It's up to YOU, the top detectives, to unravel the mystery and catch the silk thief in the act!

Self-Guided Detective Mystery Through Derby City Centre

Are you ready for a day of family-friendly adventure in Derby? Embark on this self-guided detective mystery-themed Treasure Trail and explore the city in a whole new way. Starting at the main entrance of the cathedral, you'll follow the Trail through the Silk Mill museum, Market Square, the Quad, the fish market, the library, and the art museum. Along the way, you'll discover hidden gems of Derby's history as you solve clues and eliminate suspects.

But beware-the culprit is clever and has left threads of evidence scattered throughout the city centre. Only the most eagle-eyed detectives will be able to find and examine them all to crack the case.
