We've got a mission for you in

Porthcawl

In the quiet seaside town of Porthcawl, strange occurrences have been reported ever since a flaming object was spotted in the sky and crashed into the sea. Some say it was a meteor, others believe it was something more… extraterrestrial. Now, the mysterious MI4 has contacted YOU, Special Agents, to help solve the strange events happening in the town.

Spy Mission Through Porthcawl's Esplanade and Sandy Bay

Join the ranks of the Paranormals and embark on a thrilling Spy Mission through Porthcawl's Esplanade and Sandy Bay. Your mission begins at the Seabank Hotel, where you'll follow the Trail through the town, past the harbour, and to Coney Beach Amusement Park, before finishing with a walk along the promenade.

As you solve the sneaky clues hidden in existing buildings and permanent features, you'll unravel the mystery of the flaming object and the strange cube that washed ashore. But beware, not everything is as it seems, and only the most cunning agents will be able to crack the code and complete the mission!

Are YOU ready to let your mission begin and uncover the truth behind the strange events in Porthcawl?
