The Mystery of the Strange Stars - Can YOU Solve the Clues?

The scientific community was abuzz with excitement when renowned astronomer Dr Mal Keyway and his apprentice Luna Gazer announced they had discovered strange stars popping up in our galaxy. But just hours before their press conference, tragedy struck - they were found slumped in their observatory! With no witnesses and a void of information, the police have turned to YOU - our top detectives - to crack the case.

A Detective Mystery Through Sidmouth

Join the investigation and explore the charming seaside town of Sidmouth on this self-guided detective themed Treasure Trail. Starting at the Tourist Information Centre, you'll follow the trail through the town's Regency-style buildings, the beautiful Connaught Gardens, the historic cricket ground, and the impressive parish church.

As you solve the sneaky clues set on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments, you'll eliminate suspects and unravel the mystery of who or what caused the tragedy at the observatory. And don't forget to take in the stunning views from the top of Jacob's Ladder - your reward for conquering the steep climb.

The town is counting on YOU to solve the clues and piece together the evidence. Are YOU up for the challenge?
