This family friendly, interactive, wildly entertaining and very clever murder-mystery will test your powers of observation and deductive reasoning. Put on your thinking cap and help Victorian London's most celebrated detective solve this baffling "whodunit!"
"...you will be transported back in time. The sights, sounds and smells of turn-of-the-century London greet you at every turn."
What is the Clocktower Mystery? It’s a crime to solve and an exhibition to experience.
The Mystery is presented in eight chapters, each representing a different location. Movement through the exhibit is sequential. Detective guides, with space to record clues and suspects, will be handed out to all who enter the exhibit.
As you enter the exhibit, you will be transported back in time. The sights, sounds and smells of turn-of-the-century London greet you at every turn. The first locale is the clocktower, where a murder has taken place. The other seven rooms range from a seamy dock-side attic to a London street scene. While walking through each room, you are given clues to the mystery surrounding the murder. These clues--carefully placed as physical evidence among the many period objects in the rooms--are handwritten police reports, overheard sound tracks of interviews, printed summaries of the events and tell-tale odors. Each scene is laden with clues and “red herrings.”
Once you feel that you have the name of the murderer or have reached the final chapter, you will find yourself at the door that leads to a study. In the study, you will meet with one of the characters of the story, played by a live actor. You will be questioned about your conclusions, and the mystery is solved in a dramatic finale!
