Treasure Hunt Trail
The Mysterious Silkworms of Treacle Town
Rumours are swirling in Treacle Town about the fabled Emperor's New Clothes. According to ancient legend, clothes made from a certain type of silkworm have the magical ability to turn invisible to anyone who is unfit for office or unusually foolish. And it just so happens that this rare silkworm can only be found in Macclesfield. Renowned weaver Phillipa Loom is determined to uncover the truth and has enlisted the help of a brave group of adventurers (that's YOU) to follow the Treasure Trail. Will you help her solve the clues and prove the legend true?
