For adults and kids 15+.


NEW! PILPO PAGGINS & THE HIDDEN RING: Dandruff the White has hidden Pilpo’s magic ring in his Hoppit Hole, so that he can’t use it. But now a threat of the D’Orcs attack has come to the Halfling’s Shire, and Pilpo needs the ring to defend his home!

THE PIRATES' DILEMMA: Your plucky band of privateers are enjoying their ill-gotten gains in your hideout when your Captain sends word the King's Guard are attempting to break in and take you all to the Tower of London! Can you hide all the booze bottles and in their secret hidey-holes before the soldiers defeat your security and catch you red-handed?

THE KING'S GUARD: As soldiers representing His Majesty the King, you are charged with upholding the law. You have been sent to a dark, foreboding alleyway in London, outside the reinforced door to a hideout of notorious privateers accused of unsanctioned piracy. Your job is to defeat their security and unlock the door, so you all can arrest the criminals, and confiscate their treasures!

Quests

Unsolved mystery within! A most tragic of fates is believed to have befallen our local alchemist. And of course, no one has fessed up. Due to the very public nature of this disappearance our investigators are stretched thin. Following very public lines of questioning and keeping the city publications up to date. One line of questioning however is being pushed out of the public eye. The last group of people known to have had contact with the alchemist- members of the Guild Hall itself. Take up the investigation, question the suspects- find clues and solve puzzles to ultimately discover the truth behind- The Secrets of the Fallen Alchemist.
