About this quest
🍀 The Case of the Lost Luck: An Outdoor Detective Mystery Game 🍀
Fortune has faltered with the mysterious disappearance of the Golden Shamrock. As luck spirals into chaos—clocks stop, signs fall, and the bakery's ovens cool—you are summoned to unravel this enigma.
Was it the reticent leprechaun, Rusty, with his mischievous past? Finn McGuire, the desperate pub owner last seen with the shamrock? Or perhaps the mayor himself, whose ambitions might be fueled by the town's misfortune?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Starting at Schiller Park, this 2.6 km route threads through German Village past The Book Loft, Winans Coffee & Chocolate and The Old Mohawk while you work out who took the Golden Shamrock: a leprechaun, a pub owner or the mayor. Friends who like a light whodunit will enjoy the hour and a half. Skip it if you want a live guide to quiz about German Village history.
