Lord Barrington Smyth is being blackmailed, we've identified the culprit as dodgy Birmingham private investigator Doug Spade. We need a crack team to enter Spade's office in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter, locate the evidence he is using to blackmail Lord Barrington, and escape before Spade returns... Are you up for the challenge?

great hostingfamily friendly
This was the first game at this venue and it does show to a degree. That's not to take anything away from the puzzles of the game! Normally I hate map puzzles but this was a clever idea and I think worked well. Theming is good and the puzzles, whilst old in concept can still trip you up and send you down the wrong path if yo are not paying attention. Recommend you play this first as a warmup game!
