Secret Spy Mission Trail
The Mysterious Missile Mission!
Attention all agents! We have received intel that the REEL (Really Evil Espionage League) has infiltrated the disused tunnels at The Needles former missile centre. They have stolen a prototype rocket and planted a potent potion inside, one that will cause anyone who touches it to become deathly afraid of water. But that's not all - their plan is to launch the rocket across Alum Bay, drenching visitors with the solution and causing them to flee inland. We cannot allow REEL to gain control of the bay, lighthouse, and missile centre. That's where YOU come in, our top super-spy. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to crack the launch deactivation code and put a stop to this dastardly plan!
