A mystery is waiting to be solved in

The Puddles

What a lovely surprise - Petal Scutt, a middle-aged housewife, had just won the lottery! But her joy was short-lived when her best friend, Lilly from the gardening club, found her slumped over her dahlias with no winning ticket in sight. Her husband has denied the rumour that she was planning to start a new life without him, and instead, he believes we should be looking for a shifty character who appeared just after her big win. Can YOU identify this mystery figure from Petal's past and clear her poor husband's name?

The Puddles - Villages & Martyrs

Are you looking for an exciting day out with family and friends? Look no further than The Puddles! This self-guided detective mystery themed Treasure Trail will take you on an immersive adventure through the charming villages of The Puddles. As you follow the trail, you'll be tasked with solving sneaky clues set on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments to eliminate suspects and discover whodunit.

The adventure begins in Tolpuddle, home of the Tolpuddle Martyrs who fought for fair pay for a day's work. Visit the Martyrs Museum and the graveyard where James Hammett, the only one to return to Tolpuddle after being pardoned, is buried. From there, the trail will take you through four of the Puddle villages, each with their own unique charm and hidden secrets waiting to be uncovered.

Put on your detective hat and get ready for an immersive treasure hunt through The Puddles!
