We've got a mission for you in

Fowey Estuary

Dr Madden-Badd, the mad genius behind the infamous toxic pastries, has declared war on the China Clay industry. After they cancelled his supply of a key ingredient, he's set his sights on revenge. His plan? To install a chain across the narrows at Polruan, disabling any vessel that passes through and giving him easy access to the ingredient. But we can't let that happen!

As luck would have it, Dr Madden-Badd isn't the smartest villain around. He's scattered clues to the deactivation code all across the Fowey Estuary area. It's up to YOU, our sneakiest Secret Agents, to travel around the area undercover in search of these clues. Can YOU crack the code and save the day?
