We've got a mission for you in
Northampton
Notorious Northampton business man, Freddie Fleesum, wants to build a giant gambling den in the Market Square. Each of Freddie's planning applications have so far been refused, but he remains undaunted and has hatched a wicked plot in an attempt to turn things in his favour. Freddie, with the aid of his equally dodgy business partners, plan to activate a device that will release billions of gig'ant'ic stinging ants into Market Square. This would devastate the market and force the council to sell the land to him on the cheap. Can you foil Freddie's 'ant'i-establishment plot and save the market? To disable the dastardly device, you'll need to identify the secret deactivation code by tracking down and solving a series of Clues. Good luck Agents!
