We've got a mission for you in

Rufford Abbey

Chase Spectors, American ghost hunter and undercover CIA agent, has arrived at Rufford Abbey to investigate strange occurrences. He heard about the abbey's ghosts on Spooky!, a website dedicated to the paranormal. But something happened last night that made him lose his memory. Was he frightened by something supernatural? Whatever the case, he can't access the coded video recording box to view the footage. Luckily, Chase has left clues around the park as a backup. But he's not as brave as he thought and needs help from TOP agents to sneak around the area, staying in the shadows and out of reach from any fiends. Can YOU solve the clues and crack the code so he can report back his findings?
