A trail of clues awaits in

Norwich

30 years ago, during archaeological excavations of the castle grounds, an ancient time capsule was uncovered. This was reburied on a little known island off the Norfolk coast for safe keeping. At the same time, a precious tiara of the finest diamonds was found at the castle but never made it to the archaeological finds box. Fast forward 30 years and one of the archaeologists on the dig, 'Curious Clara' has finally admitted that whilst trying on the tiara, she sneaked a peek inside the time capsule. When she heard someone coming, she panicked, hid the tiara in the time capsule and quickly sealed it back up. Unfortunately, the only record of where the time capsule was reburied is a set of clues and a map of the island…
