A trail of clues awaits in
Leicester
At Leicester's Theatre Royal in 1858, Candy Floss, Queen of the Stage, takes her final bow at the end of 'The Mystery in Bradgate Park'. As the audience gives her a standing ovation, the Sultan of Abudabidoo, honoured guest for the night, steps onto the stage to present Candy with a priceless pearl from the Red Sea. But in a flash, the lights go out, she screams, and when they come back on, the pearl has vanished!
No one ever uncovered the truth about the lost jewel, and the story became a legend…until now! Centuries later, a strange old map with the words 'Candy's Pearl' has been discovered beneath the remains of the old theatre. The Intrepid Explorer Society (IES) has sent it to you - their top adventurers - to follow the trail and solve the clues to retrieve the gift of the Sultan. Good luck Adventurers!
