Sherlock Holmes Story: A rich businessman named Hilton Cubitt has been
murdered in his home. His wife, Elsie, has also been shot and
seriously wounded, but police suspect that she killed her husband and
see her shooting as an attempted suicide. The sleuths at Watson
Adventures, however, doubt this theory. The scene of the crime
included two unusual pieces of evidence: a sheet of strange,
handwritten "dancing" stick figures and a crumpled-up scavenger hunt
featuring works of art at the museum. We need your help! Your
assignment: do the scavenger hunt, decipher the meaning of the dancing
figures, and figure out who murdered Hilton Cubitt. Elsie's life hangs
in the balance—and she's depending on your group's teamwork and
detective skills to exonerate her. How the Hunts Work On most of our
hunts, you and your teammates are not collecting objects (drop that
pigeon!)—you're searching for answers to tricky, humorous questions
about the amusing things and cool places you discover. No previous
knowledge is required: you just need a sharp mind and comfy shoes. The
best teams quickly learn that they must use the strengths of everyone
in the group. The hunts are conducted by our live, in-person Hunt
Hosts and assistants. We do not offer do-it-yourself games. We want to
be on hand to make sure you have fun. The hunts are not races, and
running disqualifies you. The hunts are a test of your wits and your
teamwork, not a test of physical fitness. We don't want anyone to feel
embarrassed or excluded—and we don't want to distress your lawyer
(or ours, for that matter). The people who live at the gym won't
necessarily win. Each member of the winning team receives a Watson
Adventures medal, similar in appearance to an Olympic medal, suitable
for draping over your neck and wearing with pride (and a bit of
gloating). We don't provide prizes like tablets or a brand-new car or
a trip to Europe for one reason: we find that the more valuable the
prize, the more incentive people have to cheat. And we're not offering
that kind of game. The object of the game ultimately is not to
win—it's to have fun with your teammates. What's Nearby
