A mystery is waiting to be solved in

Ruthin

When local pub singer and dancer, Carrie Oakey, suddenly disappeared, the town of Ruthin was thrown into disarray. The police have arrested Swedish barman, Lars Torders, as a suspect, but lawyer Cybil Wrights believes he is innocent. She has heard Carrie sing before and thinks that anyone who witnessed her performance that night could be the real culprit.

Now, Cybil needs YOUR help to prove Lars' innocence. Grab your evidence collecting kit and head to Ruthin to start solving the clues. But hurry-time is of the essence before the real culprit destroys vital information and gets away with their crime!
